Vettel's current contract expires in 2020, he will be replaced by THE Son, Mick Schumacher.

Mick is doing great in Formula 2, and I can't wait to see him in F1

Vettel's cycle is almost ready, and 2020 is a good time to make a substitute in Ferrari.
Mick Schumacher has an amazing performance in Formula 2 and it would be a good addition to the driver's competition. He will probably be a great duo with Leclerc.

This is not going to happen, there always need an experienced driver on a Top team.
Call me crazy but if Hamilton will lose the next championship, I see Hamilton on Ferrari in 2021 till the end of his career.
Call me crazy as much you want but everyone wants the Ferrari and if lose next year for him is will almost impossible to beat the Shumi record.

Side note about the F1 changes
IMO the tire (or tyre depending on where you are) changes are going to make a very large difference.
Going from 13" to 18" is going to radically change how the cars handle and move overall.

Yeah the aerodynamic changes will matter with the down-force, yeah grid position can make things more interesting. But a major change to the rubber is going to be the race very different.

Once again, IMO.

You are definitely crazy man!
Hamilton is not going to sign for Ferrari... Never... Mercedes is not going to let that happen.
Leclerc has better performance compared to Vettel this season and I think he should definitely be No1 driver in the team.

Side note about the F1 changes

If all these changes will be done can happen 2 things, well 3 things.

- If new cars of 2021 will be to slow they will need to increase the power, remember when Moto 2 was near to MotoGP lap times? they increase the power from 800cc to 1000cc.
The same will/can happen with F2 and F1

- If too many changes will lead to the unification of many parts, like gears and motor majorly, the top team will leave and they will create their own championship.
Ferrari Mercedes Renault will never race with a motor made by another house. NEVER.

Everything will stay the same and nothing changes politically.

Let's see what happens, if he wins the 2020 title he will stay there to trying to beat Schumacher, but if he loses...

Vettel contract will end in 2021.
Hamilton contract will end in 2021.

If he wants to leave Mercedes can do nothing about it.

How good? Is he as good as Charles Leclerc or Max Verstappen? It might be too early for him. However, he can become the 3rd Ferrari driver or the test driver hehehe. But that would not be the best for him being the son of Michael Schumacher.

@coinlocket$. Lewis should go back to McLaren and help them after all his success hehe.

Talking out my ass here, but I think it would be better if they staggered in the changes.
Change aerodynamics and see what happens over 2 seasons. Then change tires and see what happens over 2 seasons. Etc.

The upside is that is something goes wrong i.e. the new aerodynamics and the new tires together cause an issue you can back the latest change off with less work.
The downside is that the teams are always going to be working on vehicles in flux which is going to make it more difficult.
It would probably be more expensive for the teams.

The upside (IMO) is that since stuff would always be changing it makes it more challenging for the drivers so it could make for better racing.

I think that he is not as good as Charles Leclerc or Max Verstappen, but he is a decent driver to be the second driver of Ferrari or Red bull team.

[coinlocket$]

RedBull and ToroRosso got penalities for changing their engine.
Verstappen seems to fly with this new engine but as said he will lose 5 positions.

For now I see Ferrari favorite also for this Sunday but the weather can be rain on Russia.

Ferrari should not renew their contract with Vettle, instead they should try and get Hamilton which will guarantee them the title. Also Mercedes will need an experienced driver to fill in Hamilton shoes they can give a contract to Vettle, this will really make F1 interesting.

Verstappen seems to fly with this new engine but as said he will lose 5 positions.

@coinlocket$ if Ferrari wins it then it’ll be their fourth consecutive victory, and suddenly it’ll put lots of pressure on Mercedes as they’ll realise they’re loosing the grip on their title.

They have too many points on their advantage, they need a disaster for 4 race out of the remaining 6 for risking to lose their title.
Is almost impossible in my opinion.

I speculate the change would be in preparation for the Japanese grand prix where I predict Max will win hehehe! It will be a Honda advertistment that they are worthy to be in the sport hehe.

That's true.
And the saddest part is for Leclerc who is so fast during the second half of the season, getting victories and still it is impossible to compete for the Championship title Hamilton because he is too behind.

While that is in great part true it is not 100% impossible for Leclerc to win the Championship.However for him in order to do so he should win almost every remaining race and hope that some DNF happens to people in front of him.I know in normal conditions this is impossible but in theory it is still possible as long as math permits it.

They are now doing the last session of practice, Ferrari is easy leading, 30 minutes to the end and maybe can rain soon.

The fast pill of the day, Mclaren will leave Renault from 2021 and they will back to Mclaren-Mercedes.

Renault will have no team and they maybe will leave formula 1, if no teams will be interested on their engines.

4 Consecutive poles for Leclerc! This guy is amazing.
Hamilton on the second place and he seemed so happy about that.

Indeed, he is doing great now and he have great chance to get win tomorrow. He faster than Mercedes whole weekend.
Sochi is one of the most boring track on calendar, but rain is expected tomorrow and it can make race more interesting.

[coinlocket$]

Well was a good race till Safety Car, Mercedes in a 1-2 with an incredible turn of events.

So bored about the track where you can't overtake.
They are building tacks everywhere, how can be bad those architects to build such disaster tracks like this one.

[Naida_BR]

Lewis is back on the first podium!
Again a disastrous strategy from Ferrari... And Leclerc whining from the start of the race because Vettel wasn't go slow so as Leclerc can overtake. Such an unprofessional behavior from him.
