Vettel re-signs to the end of 2020

Wow!

 

I predict that Kimi will be at Scuderia Ferrari for 2019 as well now that Seb has a three year contract. If they continue their pace into 2018, they will want to keep the duo together. Seb won't want Riccardo beside him when his contract come up at the end of 2018 but Ferrari will want max when he comes up at the end of 2019

 

+1 If Kimi keeps doing like he has been there's no reason to not keep him.

 

I wonder what the escape clauses are.

(Because there are always escape clauses.)

 

Can he do 4 WDC's in a row?

 

I agree. And why wouldn't he? He's already a four time WDC, albeit in a car that was so dominant others really did not present that great a challenge.

I'm sure he wants more WDC titles. Unless he thought Ferrari lacked the talent or commitment, which by signing, he plainly doesn't, he should stay at Ferrari and be part of one of the grandest teams and traditions in F1 history, while helping them add to that history.

 

Eh, I remember it differently. Compare his teammate's finishes. Only one of those years was close to a run-away. Certainly not like Mercedes pulled off 2014-2016.

 

Certainly not like Mercedes in the past 3 years. You are right that only 2 of his Red Bull seasons were dominant.

 

I think, assuming Vettel can be champion this year, and have a strong 2018-2019, he will probably retire at the scuderia .

 

Who will quit first?

Hamilton or Vettel?

 

Hamilton. One-two bad seasons and he'll be done.

 

If bottles beats him this year he will leave this season. It's why I cheer bottles on every week, hoping the chunky monkey can stay ahead of the little ballerina

 

I was not really surprised by the fact that he signed, but rather by the duration of his new contract. I expected him to re-sign for one year, and thus keeping his options open for the 2019 season and beyond.

He definitely seems to enjoy his time with Ferrari - although last season I had the impression that some cracks (and some frustration) were starting to show up...

 

+77

Same over here...

 

Hamilton.

 

Hamilton will quit first.

 

Luckily we'll be able to keep with him in the new E! program "Ham & Biebs: #Blessed in Colorado"

 

LOL

 

Hahahaha...... I know you're joking, but it's funnier cos it wouldn't surprise anyone if it were announced as true! Haha

 

Elton and Teh Biebs could have a competition to see who can get the most tattoos by the end of the first season.

 

They serenading each other>?
