but i really don't know what's happening to vettel?
we wanna see racing Hardcore! and ladies and gentlemen, Charles does not dissappoint!
C'mon hammy! the seas are not gonna open up for you like in the commandments ^^
Charles...a new star is born!! What a fight, what a challenge to overcome both Mercs who were relentless hunters but ultimately got home without the win. And Charles did it all on his own as his wingman had his clipped. Shame on Seb...
I fancy George Russell as a potential replacement for Seb. George consistently scores higher than Robert, has a great personality and would be fairly easy to secure, not to mention more affordable than other bigger names.
Please let the sun shine from the stable as A smile says a thousand words...can we not do a buy out for the honey badger.
Red Rose by any other name:)
Congrats to Leclerc and Ferrari, finally a Monza win!.
What to say about Vettel, on top of his poor shape in the last 1 or 2 years, the rise of Leclerc. Vettel is done, he will stay around one more year because he is a proud guy and the ridiculous money he gets but I can't see him in Ferrari after 2020.
Probably correct retirement is the best option leave the sport on a good note.Even he went to another team it would not make any difference you can not discount seb but I feel his best years are behind him now and they were fantastic wonderful years.
OH what a race!!!!! i dont think i have enjoyed one like this for a while!!!
Towards the end i couldnt even watch, i thought bottas would get him. Absolutely stoked for charles!
Ive been saying Ferrari should concentrate their efforts behind this kid, now hes proving it. Keeping lewis hamilton in a merc no less, behind him for most part of the race and then bottas, to win!
Great to see Charles is also learning very fast. Hes figured out how to manage his tyres better; the skill which cost him the battle against max. This kid is going to be great!
Am pretty sure Merc is very worried now. If Ferrari fix their Aero, they are screwed. We'll have not just the car, but even a driver with the temperament to take it to hamilton.
Silently, like a shadow
Hes used to being the top dog in a team. Almost-rookie Charles, is not only out-qualifying him but even gotten the teams only victory up until monza. Naturally hes embarassed and thats putting huge pressure on him IMO. That spin all by himself tells it all.
I can see him wanting to move, either back to RBR or retire, if this continues.
Silently, like a shadow
I wouldnt read too much into it. They NEED to say these things or it will look like they are weak. Its just PR.
Their body language during the race showed the reality. Toto seemed resigned to the inevitable result (wrt ham) and hams tone on the radio was not really of someone who is super ****** at being pushed off.
Silently, like a shadow
so were ham and britney. look how that turned out. Best not to pit friends against each other.
With charles showing the maturity and race craft to win, i think we should prbly get someone a bit experienced and consistent in place. Someone who wont do stupid things to prove they are a match for charles.
Danny ric or even hulkenberg might do it. Both are quick and level headed.
My dream would of course be to see Nando back, but i cant see that working. Might get explosive.
Silently, like a shadow
We were using Seb to see how the hard tyre work and then gave plan b to Charles and he got the tyre choice and the strategy right.
It is practically as important as Charles maturity. The strategy worked and the data was right to help to bring the best strategy.
I can see following possibilities for 2021
Ferrari: LecLerc, Alonso/Ricciardo
Mercedes: Hamilton, Ocon
RB: Verstappen, Vettel
Renault: Ricciardo/Vettel, Bottas
It’s make or break for Vettel on his future in next couple of races. Although he stays with ferrari next year. He might take a call early in the next season based on his 2019 season.
I strongly feel, he has the potential to deliver.
Alonso won’t be back for sure. He comes back only if he feels that ferrari is a strong car. He would aim for championship not for 2nd or 3rd in the title.
At RB I don’t see Max & Vettel in the same team, it doesn’t happen.
At ferrari, if vettel performs next year he will continue. Else
In 2021: Lec/Ric is the only possibility.
Maybe Kimi can finally retire this year and give his Alfa seat to Seb

I much as I want Max in the Ferrari, I don't think it is possible. Leclerc-Verstappen line up is pretty much a ticking time bomb, it would explode in any moment and destroy the whole team atmosphere with it. Also I don't think Ferrari's management is capable enough to handle such a line up.
So I think, for 2021, Ferrari should bring someone who is solid but not quick enough to challenge Leclerc, example-Hulkenberg. I think Charles-Hulk would be quite good.
Now I don't see any reason for Vettel to go back to Red Bull, especially when Max is there. I mean why would he? there's nothing to gain and Max would make him look like a 2nd tier driver, as Charles is doing right now. So there's no way Vettel would want Max as his teammate, so I think he would either retire after 2020 or go to a team like Mclaren/Williams.
So my 2021 driver line up:
Ferrari: Leclerc-Hulkenberg
Mercedes: Hamilton-Russell (Russell is, without any doubt, extremely talented. I think he will get the 2nd Mercedes seat, and 2020 going to Bottas's last year with the team)
Red Bull: Max-Kvyat/Albon
Renault: Ricciardo-Ocon
I wouldn't like Alonso either. Imagine him losing to Leclerc, bad atmosphere.
And he represents the past, not the future.
