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?

It's time for Mercedes to lose in whatever colour they want.

Well, that was 9/10 race. All the attrition made it feel like 1994 again. F1 needs some of these races for sure.

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.

      It's funny how for basically every World Cup event we have the TV cameras on the left side of the hills. Yet for every Olympics they always have them on the right side  Definitely need time to adjust.

      Draw for the 5.000m Men (tomorrow 16:00 local time) is out: https://www.olympics.com/en/milano-cortina-2026/results/ssk/st/m/5000m-------------/fnl-/000100--/race-result   After Lollobrigida’s incredible performance today, it’s honestly getting hard to bet against the Italians on home ice. That said, I still think Ghiotto’s real shot at Gold is the 10km, leaving the 5km wide open for some "untraditional" countries.   It’s truly bizarre to look at a start list and realize that a Czech teenager and a Frenchman are the heavy medal favorites, while the Dutch, who used to own this distance, can barely be called outsiders anymore. If you had told me a few years ago that this would be the state of the 5000m, I wouldn’t have believed it.   My prediction for tomorrow: Sander Eitrem - The heavy favorite after shattering the World Record this season with a historic 5:58.52. Timothy Loubineaud - A massive challenger who briefly held the World Record himself earlier this season with a 6:00.23. Metoděj Jílek - A serious gold medal contender, but I’m worried this is the first time he’ll truly feel the weight of expectations from his home country after his breakout results. Casey Dawson - A podium regular this year who is a strong contender for the top five. Ted-Jan Bloemen - The veteran master of the long distances who always finds an extra gear on the big stage. Davide Ghiotto - Facing massive home-crowd pressure in Milan to keep up with the younger generation. Chris Huizinga - Currently looks like the strongest hope for the Dutch guard. Alexander Farthofer - A rising talent who has successfully pushed his way into the top tier this season.   Riccardo Lorello - Another Italian hope looking to capitalize on the home-ice advantage. Gabriel Groß - A solid mid-pack contender who has delivered reliable results throughout the winter. Fridtjof Petzold - Has shown steady improvement and is now occasionally a fixture in the top half of the field.  Marcel Bosker - Started the season incredibly strong at the Dutch Championships, but hasn't reached that level since. Michele Malfatti - A home favorite who has been hovering just outside the lead group all season.  Bart Swings - His legendary engine remains world-class, but his main focus is on the mass start. Felix Maly - A consistent performer who provides a solid benchmark for the field.  Sigurd Henriksen - Part of the deep Norwegian squad with the potential to surprise if others slip up. Stijn van de Bunt - A massive breakout talent, but the Olympic depth makes moving up a huge challenge.  Shomu Sasaki - A promising young skater gaining valuable experience on the world stage.  Liu Hanbin - Honestly surprised to see him on the start list after that tough injury. It will be a victory just to finish.  Peder Kongshaug - Finished dead last in his only A-group appearance this season and hasn't raced a competitive 5k in months. He's a 1500m specialist who might lack the form for this distance right now.
