TL;DR:

Carlos Sainz, though sources say Aston Martin, Sauber, Alpine and Williams are potential teams where he could land
Alex Albon
Fernando Alonso, if he ever get lured from Aston
Daniel Ricciardo
Esteban Ocon, whom is managed by Toto Wolff

I'd pick Ocon over him, they just need a stopgap until Antonelli's ready. But Gasly should be in contention too, he had a better season in his first year. Albon is just overrated by likeability.

I know they are famously bad at contracts, but isn't Ocon contracted for a while at Alpine?

Until the end of 2024, also Piastri was more of an incompetent oversight and leniant terms than just a bad contract, but the ones involved are gone now anyway
