Wow, that would be surprising for me. And for sure he will have some offers from other teams. I think it's too early for him to retire from F1.

 

Not from Red Bull or Mercedes probably. Will Vettel want to do a few steps back and drive for a team where he has pretty much no chance?

My guess is either he retires at end-2020 or as you said he essentially "pulls a Raikkonen" i.e. drives for a smaller team for a few years before retiring, under no illusions that he can win the title.

You can't compare the other series with F1 honestly so why not to try with other teams even if he know he won't be in top for a time. We have an example for this case...Alonso did the same.

The situations were pretty different though, here's a decent explanation on Alonso's move to McLaren:

Financially Renault (if they stay) might have the money for Vettel, much like Alonso he isn't gonna be cheap, but that's about it. Plus he has said something about focussing on more important things in life, so it just wouldn't be very surprising if this is it for him.

Oh and Ricciardo already demanded too much money from Ferrari earlier, which is a major part of why he didn't end up there. Renault did want to pay him what he wanted, so that's where he went.

 

So this isn't surprising.

McLaren 2021: Ricciardo + Norris

Renault 2021: Ocon + ...

Ferrari 2021: Leclerc + ...

 

The Ferrari seat will most likely be Sainz, curious to see if Renault will again pay 25+ million dollars for a driver and if Vettel even wants to move there. Apart from him, Lundgaard and Zhou are serious contenders as well, especially if Renault waits a little to see how the current season goes for them.

    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event 
    • In bed with the flu and few hours of sleep, but at least the insomnia will let me watch the first World Cup stage
    • The news then is that she has not yet been arrested? I suppose Camila when she returns to Italy will have a very unwelcome visit from the Guardia di Finanza.
