It was announced several weeks ago he was no longer a Ferrari Academy driver. Someone from Haas, probably Gunther Steiner, recently said his results have been way too inconsistent. So, it seems like Haas is likely to release him. And yes, I agree that from Haas to Williams seems like basically a horizontal move performance wise. But a seat is a seat.

I'm curious if Daniel Ricciardo ends up driving next year. I can't see him in a Haas seat, I would imagine Ferrari would rather promote someone new up into any potentially open Haas seat. He seems unmotivated to me, so him not taking up a seat is probably a good thing for F1 as a whole when there is other talent out there.
