Even with Mercedes not having “as great” of a car as Ferrari, Hamilton sure is a hell of a driver who continues to dominate. I like humans for whatever short falls he has; he is a heck of a driver and once who could some day be compared to Schumacher.

Sainz confirmed for Ferrari just now.
Dani Ric to McLaren.

Looks like Brundle called it..

who is in at Renault? Alonso?

Alonso is not looking to race F1 next year......preferring to wait until the new cars in '22.

Talent runs in the Sainz family.
Has anyone heard if the Netflix series on F1 will continue? Was there any filming this season?

Good for Sainz, but what the hell has happened to Danny Ric’s career? He needs to be in that Ferrari if he wants a chance at a championship. Red Bull to Renault to McLaren? One step back and another sideways is not the path forward.

Is it really Vettel leaving Ferrari or Ferrari seeing an opportunity to get younger, establish order in their team hierarchy, and shed a volatile, under performing prima donna ?

This season???

If races do go off in July, I suspect filming will be limited in order to reduce the number of people in the paddock.

Was thinking the same

Can not wait for 2021. Danny Ric in an orange car (I hope they keep the papaya orange) with a Mercedes engine? Yes, please.

I sure hope so, despite some of the force narratives, it is one well produced TV show.

Merc has unequivocally had the best car on the grid in the turbo hybrid era by far.

I think Vetel’s leaving, aside from a big money demand was for a long term deal and assurance that he would be number 1 or co-number 1 with Leclerc.

Vetel to Red Bull in place of Albon?

I was hoping Alonso would come back to Ferrari.

I think you're on the money here. They set themselves up properly for the future.
