Teams Ferrari in McLaren are a new racing team (one racer each) for 2021 season confirmed even before this year even began. It means they will have to this season take away with the racers, who are saying goodbye at the end of the season. Maybe it will be at McLarn went smoothly, which for Ferrari we cannot claim.
Mercedes and Renault will not make the mistake of Ferrari and McLaren
Perhaps we could also add that it is still you can't and this not only from a racing point of view, but also because of its own existence in Formulas 1. Both manufacturers are - especially in this one coronavirus crisis - linked to rumors that after the end of this season farewell from Formula 1. He is in greater danger here Renault, which was already on the agenda of the Group's management before the crisis. Pri Mercedes could be a concern Daimler gave up the factory team and remained as a supplier of engines with increased attention to McLarn, which will race with their generators next year.
Iz racing aspect however, it is necessary to invoke a statement Tota Wolff, which is in view Sebastian Vettl, which is its departure from Ferrari announced before there was one race this year, Ferrari however, he has already confirmed the replacement, saying that such situation in his team he wants to avoid: “We will certainly not put ourselves in such a position. It’s hard to manage this when you have to drive one year with a racer who will be on a competitor’s team next year. What do you do with innovation and learning when you know a racer can use that against you next year? That’s why all the teams that announced their racers so quickly are in a difficult position that I don’t want to find myself in."
Pri Ferrari there is a possibility and a danger at the same time that it will Sebastian Vettel, in his last season with the team from Maranella, this year he raced only for himself and will not look at the team and even less at the interest of his teammate Charles Leclerc, which, for example, he claims Martin Brundle, a former Formula One racer Zak Brown, first husband McLaren points out that this year Ferrari sparkled even more than was the case last season. Of course, he had in mind here on the track between the two racers of the teams. Last year Brazilija was, in his opinion, a tasting.
Alonso and Vettel will, if at all, be confirmed only in the second half of the year or at the end of the season
Z Mercedes and at all Renault these days, two names are connected: Sebastian Vettel in Fernando Alonso. According to French newspapers, the latter has already signed a preliminary contract with Renault. It will be necessary to wait until the real contract, and not only because of negotiations with a Spanish veteran, who will certainly not return for little money, although part of the salary would supposedly take over even Liberty Medium. Connection Alonso-Renault with financial assistance Liberty Media it will only be possible when it is clear whether it will be Renault after the end of the 2020 season he stayed at all in Formula 1. Regardless of the attempt Americans with salary coverage Alonso and claims Abiteboulthat the concern is behind the project Formula 1, will most likely decide on the survival of the French manufacturer financial statements after the current coronavirus crisis. Maybe I could convince them, though Fernando Alonso.
Before fans, the media and experts want to put Alonso, Vettl or Jesus Christ in a Renault car, they must first ask themselves whether the team will even be present in Formula 2021 in the 1 season. The same could apply to Mercedes.
Something similar, albeit in a milder form, is also happening with Mercedes. For the season 2021 they have not yet been confirmed no racer, negotiations with Lewis Hamilton how far they are supposed to take place is not known at the time. If the subject of the stumbling block is money, here is their sponsor (Monster) who is willing to take the star’s salary Lewis Hamilton. Despite the crisis, it is expected to move around 40 million per year. If that’s not possible, it’s here Sebastian Vettel. German racer in a German race car. I am too Toto wolff thinks it would be a great marketing affair. Maybe so great that it also convinces those responsible in the concern? And why not connect Hamilton-Vettel? For Formula 1, this would be a big gain, on the other hand Lewis he never tires of making statements that he is not afraid of anyone.
The earthquake in the racing market will subside for a while
Either way, it probably will carousel racing square now calm down and we will be next high-profile confirmations and relocation and return of racers only after a few races this season, but here too we can not to claim with certaintythat they will happen - at least not at the moment. It is necessary to take into account that no one has signed so far the new Concorde agreement, because of the crisis in the car industry, there is great uncertainty.
But one thing is for sure: Before fans, media and professionals want to race Renault to plant Alonso, Vettel ali Jesus Christ, they must first ask themselves whether the team will be in season 2021 even present in Formulas 1. The same could be true for Mercedes. Even at German manufacturer continued engagement in Formulas 1 after 2020 is not so self-evident, which is why it could happen that it will Lewis Hamilton in the end left empty-handed - v financial and racing view.
