Still a big blow for Checo who basically "built" the team. But the sponsorship money he brings could help any team, so I think especially Haas would be very keen.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,661 Posted July 15, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted July 15, 2020 I'm very, very surprised that Vettel is troubling himself with a midfield seat. I really thought unless he could get back in at Mercedes or Red Bull or possibly McLaren that he'd call it quits. Perez to replace Raikkonen at Alfa Romeo as the senior driver would make a lot of sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they really a midfield team though? If they had a decent Qualifying in the Styrian Grand Prix, at least Checo would have been in a good fight for a podium, I reckon. They're basically Mercedes B-Team, and with Aston Martin coming into play, I don't think the midfield will be their ambition for the future.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,661 Posted July 15, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted July 15, 2020 Just now, Tommy said: Are they really a midfield team though?

They're basically Mercedes B-Team, and with Aston Martin coming into play, I don't think the midfield will be their ambition for the future. That's only this year's car though and it remains to be seen how much they'll get away with it. Everyone thought 2-3 years ago when Haas had the B-Spec Ferrari that they were quids in but they've been a pile of garbage ever since. I hope I'm wrong but Alonso talked about McLaren's ambition to return to the top when he went there. Same with Ricciardo at Renault. A lot of teams talk about becoming contenders and very few teams do it. More of a chance from 2022 onwards if they get the spending regulations right.

Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted July 15, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted July 15, 2020 Yeah, I also think that Racing Point have big ambitions. They also have money (Stroll/Aston Martin) and business connections (Toto Wolff, among others). I think the fact that they have previously offered the seat to Alonso and now allegedly offered a contract to Vettel only shows how serious they are.

Moderator Tommy 12,613 Posted September 10, 2020 Author Moderator Share Posted September 10, 2020 Yea, it's very difficult to win the title in that Mercedes of recent years. Has Lewis won a race in a Toro Rosso though? Only the two GOATS managed that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted September 10, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted September 10, 2020 Will be interesting to see how he does at Racing Point. Good to see he's not retiring at the lowest point of his career, surely things can't get worse than now at Ferrari... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco 3,008 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Well this is good news, I think I'd rather him at RB, but since is a smart move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
