It is highly unlikely that he will become world champion in Ferrari this year.

The transfer magic in the GP circus continues.

They either let the rabbits (Vettel, Sainz, Ricciardo) disappear quickly in their own team hat for 2021 – or they reappeared alive (Sainz and Ricciardo) in an opposing hat.

No night fog action
By the way, since Tuesday the team announcements have never hit the media so quickly. Apparently the PR departments were already bored.
–
And one cannot get rid of the suspicion that some transfers have been slumbering in the drawers for weeks, that Vettel, for example, was an Italian farmer victim because it was simply too expensive.

Since Tuesday, these have certainly not been quick shots without personal meetings. The Corona period only allowed cell phone calls or Skype. And the contracts were probably sent back and forth by fax …

Renault pissed at Ricciardo
Daniel Ricciardo (30) will leave Renault after two years at his own request and probably without a podium finish – and will replace Sainz at McLaren (next year with Mercedes Power).

The French do not cry tears after the Australian who has been staring for months. Team principal Cyril Abiteboul: “The basis for our success is built on mutual trust.”

Who is doing Renault now? Valtteri Bottas, if he has to leave Mercedes after four years as an emergency nail? Or maybe Nico Hülkenberg or Fernando Alonso are making a comeback?

The Spaniard who sold himself
Carlos Sainz (25) had long recognized that he had to offer himself almost for free and as number 2 if he had a chance against the competing competition. The «cheap» Spaniard will get it in Maranello in 2021/22.

Does the super-fast and powerful son of rally legend Carlos Sainz senior (58) really remain the good team-mate? That would be a surprise. And since the start of the World Cup in 1950, Ferrari has needed noise, arguments, rumors, controversies that an entire people can get used to …

What do you think Hamilton says?
Only Sebastian Vettel (32) is still stuck in the wizard’s hat. And his own magical future tricks are rather lean. The Swiss citizen sits lonely at the poker table and now apparently puts everything on one card: All In.
–
Either Vettel gets the Mercedes seat next to Lewis Hamilton (who by the way has a say in the team-mate) or the German says quietly goodbye as a four-time world champion with Red Bull (2010 to 2013). With the eternal wound of red error.

A winning car is needed!
Because Vettel no longer wants to build a team or develop it for years (like McLaren or Aston Martin). McLaren speaks of another three years. And Racing Point (2021 Aston Martin) simply built silver world champion cars from 2019 to …

So there is only Mercedes for Vettel, but with George Russell (Williams) and Esteban Ocon (Renault) he finally has to get a driver from his own talent shed into the big boat! Otherwise the millions make no sense for the promotion of youth!

Can Vettel do magic?
That Vettel this season, when it starts, will be the first red world champion since Kimi Raikkonen in Ferrari in the sixth attempt – this requires a better magic trick than the one with the rabbits in hat. And above all, the 53-time GP winner finally needs a competitive car all season.
