Been over a year since Mike Elliot left Merc. Is he still having his gardening leave?

No it would have expired recently (end of November), but he hasn't turned up at any new teams as far as I know.

With so many new team in 2026, I am sure his phone will be ringing non stop.
Sure hope to see him back in F1 again. Perhaps with Williams?
