Mercedes is running out of motivational tools I think. They even said they thought Red Bull were going to have the better race pace today, probably to motivate the team.

What would you think about Vettel returning to Red Bull next year? I’ve heard rumors that he might go to Tracing Point but how cool would it be to see him race with Max?

Of course, being Max’s teammate is a high hazard job. Gasly was replaced mid season last year and Albon is underperforming now, as you noted.

I also hate seeing Ferrari stinking it up. But they are the favored child in F1. The next F1 contract pays them $40 Mil just for being Ferrari and blessing the sport with their presence. I think they aren’t giving Vettel the same car as LeClerc and it is because he is not returning next season. They don’t want him to know what changes they’ve planning.
