After it became Tuesday officiallythat the two teams Classic Ferrari for sale in Sebastian Vettel decided that after the end of the season 2020 you go on separate paths, we witness a resounding shift in the Formula 1 racing market.
If it was still the case yesterday with some colleagues, especially German ones, that he was supposed to be Nemec just before signing the contract with the team McLaren-Mercedes, as it will be called in the 2021 season, has a few hours later everything changed. Apparently it was about media diversion of attention or for the fact that Hag he doesn't want to wait two or three yearsto sit in the winning race car again. Despite the fact that they will have in the coming year Mercedes engines, will v Woking they needed time to return to the old paths of glory.
Vettel plays poker and goes to all (Mercedes) or zero (retirement)
As it turns out Nemec opted for a game of poker, which specifically means whether he will land at Mercedes, or went to a calm family life, which many also predict. They are among them Sergio Perez, Mika salo, Martin Brundle. And why Mercedes Benz? The background lies in the fact that at silver arrows none of the racers have a contract for the 2021 season and beyond. Lewis Hamilton and his teammate Valtteri Bottas the contracts expire at the end of the year, and only negotiations are heard on extensions Lewis Hamilton. Probably Hag targets Finca's headquarters because the signing of the contract with Hamilton it was supposed to be just a formality.
What could the Vettl Jokers be? Wolff? Mercedes?

Otherwise Austrian due to his loyalty to his current racers, he did not want to explicitly define personnel matters, but did not dwell on praise at the expense of four-time world champion Vettl. “Sebastian is a great racer, a great personality and an enrichment for every Formula 1 team."
But he could be here another reason, no matter how big it might be Hag however, you may find yourself at Mercedes. As is well known, too German manufacturer has not yet said a final word on how after the 2020 season. They will stay? Will they gave up the factory team and continued in Formula only as engine supplier? Maybe you could German racer v German race car convinced them to change their minds.
Germany 2021 without a Formula 1 racer?
By the way: If it will Hag decided to retire, then there is high probabilityto be Germany in the 2021 season without a Formula 1 racer - unless Mick Schumacher managed to progress. Country z powerful automotive industry without a representative in Formulas 1, before the end of his own series DTM, without a promising offspring - really sad.
