It's good for Ferrari for sure, and I believe it's a relief for Vettel from all the pressure. It's going to be some speculations whose going to take his seat and now looks like it's between Sainz and Ricciardo. I like both drivers. With either Sainz or Ricciardo, they can help Ferrari to be competitive to fight for the CC. However, it's also up to Ferrari to decide if they give equal treatment to both drivers, Leclerc and his teammate or another #1 and #2 status... |

Carlos Sainz Jr is set to replace Sebastian Vettel at Ferrari for the 2021 Formula 1 season, with an announcement expected later this week.
Ferrari confirmed on Tuesday morning that four-time world champion Vettel would be leaving at the end of 2020 after both parties agreed to break off talks over a new contract. https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/14...errari-in-2021 Ferrari has moved swiftly to identify a replacement for Vettel, with sources indicating to Autosport that a deal has now been struck with current McLaren driver Sainz. An announcement is expected from Ferrari in the coming days confirming Sainz as Charles Leclerc's new team-mate from 2021. |

Daniel Ricciardo is understood to have agreed a McLaren deal for 2021 and he is expected to be announced by the Woking outfit this week.
The Australian will replace Carlos Sainz Jr, whose departure for Ferrari will be confirmed in parallel. Both drivers will come to the end of their initial two-year deals at the conclusion of the 2020 season, although McLaren had an option on Sainz for a third year. |

McLaren is moving to a Mercedes PU next year, leaving Renault with only the factory team. Makes me wonder if Ricciardo would have considered McLaren were they still running Renault engines. That's what killed is last season at RBR, and failed to get him home once or twice last year too, IIRC. |

real question, will any of those drivers be released if there is a racing this season. Not sure if I was the team I would put much effort behind them.. Let alone sharing information on car changes. odd situation for everyone

The teams will limit what briefings and data they share with the drivers who will be leaving. The team will provide what they can and the driver's should provide what they are being paid for.

there's basically nowhere to go for Vettel except the weak Renault, and I doubt Vettel will like to race in midfield...
the only other place, which is Mercedes... in case Hamilton is not renewing the contract... that is.. unless Hamilton doesn't want a 7th title... |

Doubt that Hamilton's move in the off season was more than a bargaining position against Mercedes. They weren't likely to call his bluff - that relationship works both ways. |

Hamilton is surely not going to Ferrari, why would I think there's still stalk between Ferrari and Hamilton? What I said is about Vettel, there's only two slot right now, one at Renault, and one at Mercedes. But Mercedes most likely will renew with Hamilton. |
