Ferrari success depends on technology
Whether Ferrari can be significantly more successful this year than in the previous season depends largely on the technology. Because in 2019 it was primarily technical problems that had brought Vettel and Leclerc to some World Cup point.
Formula 1 is heading for a new era
Such gigantic technical differences between the individual teams will probably no longer exist from 2021. Thanks to some standards, Formula 1 wants to ensure that there is more equal opportunity. This should make the races more balanced and exciting.

Bumpy Vettel start into the new season
The start of the new season, however, continues to go as little as desired for Vettel. After he had to cancel his test drives in Barcelona on Wednesday due to malaise, the technology slowed him down on Friday.
His new Bolide SF 1000 went on strike, which is why he had to pause his test shortly after half past ten. It wasn’t until the afternoon that the racetrack returned. Ferrari has lost valuable time in the already tight tests.
Vettel dreams of old times
Vettel would love to continue his successful time at Red Bull in Formula One. Between 2010 and 2013 he celebrated four World Cup titles in a row. Even the footsteps of the great Michael Schumacher didn’t seem too big for the Heppenheimer, who won the first Grand Prix and the first World Cup title as Schumi at an even younger age.

This is Sebastian Vettel:
- Born on July 3, 1987 in Heppenheim.
- Vettel’s home kart track was the Erftlandring. Michael Schumacher had already made his first attempts at walking in motorsport there.
- In 2007 Vettel made the jump to Formula 1, where he started for BMW Sauber and Toro Rosso.
- His move to Red Bull followed in 2009, where he celebrated four World Cup titles in a row from 2010 to 2013.
- Vettel switched to Ferrari in 2015. With the Scuderia, however, he has so far been denied the big hit.

Schumi record hardly possible
At that time, experts had believed that Vettel could attack the Schumi record of seven World Cup titles. But after Vettel went empty-handed in recent years, Michael Schumacher’s record for Vettel should gradually be out of reach.
Vettel wants to conquer Hamilton
While the Schumi record is probably out of reach, Sebastian Vettel now has only one goal: he wants to defeat his worst rival with Lewis Hamilton. Last year he had to drive miles behind the British. This season Vettel finally wants to land in front of the Mercedes star.
Who could be the surprise of the season?
In Formula 1, many fans will be looking at Max Verstappen this season. The Dutchman took a strong third place last season. Can the Red Bull driver compete for the world title this year?
Can Carlos Sainz take the next step?
For many fans, Carlos Sainz is an interesting driver in the 2020 season. The Spaniard flashed his talent again and again last year. If McLaren provides the 25-year-old with a strong car this season, Sainz could provide a surprise or two.
Sainz soon at Vettel’s side?
Some fans and experts recently suspected that Sainz and Vettel could soon ride side by side. During this winter break, rumors persisted about McLaren’s interest in Vettel. The question is: does the Heppenheimer actually switch to the Silver Arrows after the season?
