Vettel leaving Ferrari!
https://au.motorsport.com/f1/news/se...shock/4791097/
This is going to fun! Hope my man Danni Ric gets the gig, anything to get out of Renault I would have thought? The suggestion though is Sainz goes to Ferrari and Danni goes to McLaren, that works as well. |

I for one will be surprised if there's even a 2020 season unfortunately.
I have to be honest, I haven't been missing the races or really any other sport for that matter. |

Thanks for your honesty as well, I am diametrically opposed to your comment though! I have missed F1, MotoGP and WSBK racing tremendously and I cannot wait for it to start back up. Be safe. |

Vettel is my fav driver but he hasn’t seemed as focused or hungry the last few years.
Alonso to step into Vettel’s seat? He’s already talked about a return if it was for a top team. |

not sure if Vettel can go for the 5th title ever.. but this is F1 things can change fast..
as long as Gio wont do stupid things this season he probably ll have the 2nd seat in Ferrari..

It will also give someone new to support, seeing that Hamilton's racing career is in the twilight years. I have always been a fan of Sainz. I like his no no nonsense attitude. |

Also, I don't think any F1 team would want Alonso back. |

I'm genuinely surprised how many people think Gio is ready to step up to Ferrari. If Ferrari want a constructors title, surely they have to go with Ricciardo or Sainz. They are two known quantities that have much more experience.
Now that I think about it, Ricciardo would be a good fit if they want Gio in the seat at some point. Ricciardo is 5 years younger than Hamilton, so throw him in the seat for the short term future while Gio gets more experience. Reevaluate where Gio is in terms of performance once Ricciardos contract is up. That should ensure both drivers that they sign for the near and long term future have the adequate experience necessary in F1 to really succeed. Either way, this will be very interesting to watch and see how it develops! |

Yes I missed out mentioning also the high expectations wanted by Ferrari when Seb replaced Alonso in that the large revenue also lost when no Constructors or Drivers title won from that time to present.

Reading up a little more on this bombshell news, I came across two interesting pieces of information regarding Vettel's replacement:

Doesn't sound to promising for Gio, but I think it makes sense based on his lack of F1 experience. |

There seem to be some people who think he would be a good fit over there, so I figured I'd post a counter argument or two. Either way, I cant wait to see who they choose and how well they get on at Ferrari

well its always normal to be a bit skeptic about statements but Vettel says, this decision didnt come out of a financial disagreement.. so what Ferrari said you wont be the #1 driver anymore?

Unfortunately a one-trick-pony.
Blown Diffuser Champion. Fearsome in an underpowered car with a planted rear but dodgy otherwise.

I would say that about sums it up Also Leclerc will have some say who'll be coming to Ferrari and I don't think personally he would want Ricciardo or Sainz. |
