F1 2020 Season

Or why can't they just have Stroll at Haas for 1 year while Perez contracts runs out and have him join the team again in 2022.

They don't need to buy out Perez's contract and it builds more momentum for the team while they can still get away with being pink Mercedes.

So 2021: Seb/Perez
2022: Seb/Stroll

Can totally see Perez at Haas but I'm not sure how much longer Haas are going to stick at it.

A while yet I think, the new regulations will help even the field and the cost cap will work for teams like Haas.

Stroll will be going nowhere, his Dad owns the team.
 
Lawrence Stroll must realise that his son just bang average driver compare to others mid team. He can't passed Ricciardo for almost entire race in slower car while Perez did it with ease.
He know it but he wont do whats right for the team maybe.

I think the move they're making is right for the team, I don't think Perez is necessarily going to progress them any further. Vettel will, but it's clear they need a number two driver which Stroll will happily do at the moment. I don't think Perez will settle as a number 2.

Russell confirmed for Williams in 2021 in other news.

How do you know Vettel will perform better than Perez has? Vettel's only successes came in an era where he learned to use the exhaust blown diffuser better than his teammate. Since then Vettel has been comprehensively outperformed by both Ricciardo and Leclerc, and given he was approx 10kg lighter than Webber, worth an average of 0.3 seconds per lap at the time, the only team mate you can honestly say he has outperformed is an ageing Kimi.

I also don't see why the team needs a number 1 and a number 2. There's nothing wrong with have two equal drivers, which is presumably what, in theory, Racing Point are doing now.
 
Racing point are going to get 2nd row at least they really look good.

Indeed.
He is doing everything right and to the very best of his great ability.
I am sure some of the bigger teams are taking notice.
Although I understand he will be at Williams next season.
 
I hope going out on Medium's backfire on the Racing Points :lol:
 
Qualified for Q3.

Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes

Valtteri Bottas, Mercedes

Max Verstappen, Red Bull

Charles Leclerc, Ferrari

Lando Norris, McLaren

Sebastian Vettel, Ferrari

Lance Stroll, Racing Point

Carlos Sainz, McLaren

Sergio Perez, Racing Point

Pierre Gasly, AlphaTauri
 
Funny how Albon was looking better in the Torro Rosso than Gasly in the Red Bull, and then they swap places and now Gasly looks better.
 
Just give both titles to Merc and tell them to feck off, it would be one of the most interesting seasons ever seeing how close it is between the rest of the field.
 
Jesus Christ I can’t wait to watch that pole lap onboard again, that thing is a monster car.
