I don’t think Ferrari are favouring LeClerc, but I do think that the car suits his style more that Vettel. That along with a ‘can’t be arsed’ attitude of a driver that has been sacked.
Today's race, case in point. Great drive to P4 for Leclerc, meanwhile Seb needlessly spins when trying to overtake someone. Again. He was good 7 years ago but since mid-2017 he has been a liability.
What a drive from Max though. He's come on so much in the past 2 years.
Yes, Vettel seems to have more or less checked out already, and it wouldn't surprise me to see him quietly shuffling off even before the end of the season. Maybe Hulkenberg could do some temping?!
Great race by Verstappen, and good to see the tyre/temp combination throwing up something of an unexpected result. More of a blip in the Mercedes season-long procession, though, I suspect. After all, they still finished comfortably in second and third.
The investment firm had probably been waiting for all ten teams to sign the Concorde Agreementa couple of days earlier, which will even out the financial playing field somewhat.
