F1 2020 Pre-Season Testing Thread

Vettel retiring at the end of the season?

May be Ferrari is really going to be very bad as a car for 2020 and Vettel just decided to quit before the season starts!!

Or SF1000 much faster than the W11 and Vettel immediately decided to prolong his contract

So he can drive the SF1000 in 2021 ??

Who knows SF1001h? "We decided to continue our philosophy and we are glad to present our evolution of SF1000..."

As funny as it would be for Ferrari to try and sneak an evolution of this years car into 2021 I can’t see the FIA going for it

Could be nothing really, earlier are Sainz and Key and Ricciardo and Budkowski.. .

I expect Vettel to lap 1.13 just before the press conference and then Binotto to go "Ah mama mia, we-e pulled a little sneaky on you!"

Or maybe not. Let's see

Sainz opens the 2nd ''week'' of testing, good luck to all

Pessimism is unhealthy.

Realism. I'm a Ferrari fan. The teams already know the pecking order, and Binotto, Mercedes, and Red Bull have all issued comments adding up to Red Bull being solidly #2 to Mercedes right now.

We'll find out in Australia.

What will blow my mind is if the Racing Point copy job sneaks in there too at the top. That's going to hurt.

Even if RP can beat Ferrari at start of the season, it is sure thing that Ferrari will overtake them quickly, they build their own car, they have giant resources and budget, and a much better line up than RP

So at the end of the season, Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari will be the 3 top teams as usual
Question is: Will Ferrari finish 3rd or can manage to catch RB ?

Your comment has two depressing aspects for me:

1. How a team like RP can copy Mercedes and be better than Ferrari. I never thought it was that easy to copy another car and make it work.

2. No comments about who is going to catch Mercedes, this is not encouraging.

Did Sky Sport just say that Mercedes could have used DAS last year? So how quickly could Racing Point implement the DAS system? That will tell you if they copied from photos or paid for last year's car.

are those the Zandvoort fronts on HAM?
