Seriously. It’s been great watching him wrestle it into 10th all season but it feels like he is putting in heroic drives to achieve it.

De Vries is nearly certainly gone from the other AT seat. Yuki's had a couple years at AT and I'm not convinced he's proved himself enough to move up to the 2nd RB seat, but if other teams are interested, we could have both ATs up for grabs. Checo needs to get over the last few races and start getting results. If he can't, I think RB would start to look at options there. Then is Sargeant bringing Williams enough sponsorship money to make it worth the pretty dreadful results (and the car rebuilds)?

I think it could get pretty silly, particularly towards the back of the grid. I bet Charles has his fingers crossed for an open seat at a big team, I think he's too pissed with Ferrari right now not to.
