#3 Wehrlein top of the tree for Toro Rosso seat

Wehrlein's future in F1 may still be possible

GrandPrix.com have reported that Pascal Wehrlein is the hot favourite to be offered a seat at Toro Rosso for 2019.

It was only recently that the young German had departed from the Mercedes driver's programme after he was one of Sauber's main drivers in last year's F1 world championship.

But now Wehrlein is available on the driver's market and the Red Bull boss, Helmut Marko, has got his eyes on the 23-year-old.

It is expected that next week's Russian Grand Prix in Sochi will see the full announcement of Toro Rosso's line-up for next season.

Will Wehrlein be included?
