Mercedes will be keeping a close eye on his progress in 2020, and he’s a good bet if a 2021 seat becomes available.

GEORGE RUSSELL: The Mercedes junior driver impressed in his first year in the uncompetitive Williams. Could Mercedes, and Vettel, be tempted? Toto Wolff has denied that the team has any intention of signing Vettel.

Putting the two drivers who have dominated the last decade of Formula 1 together in the same team is a mouthwatering prospect. SEBASTIAN VETTEL: A four-time German World Champion’s services are currently available for Mercedes in 2021. The safe money would be on Bottas retaining his seat in 2021. A known quantity, and the perfect foil for Lewis Hamilton.
VALTTERI BOTTAS: If Valtteri Bottas has another strong season, like in 2019, Mercedes are likely to want to keep hold of the Finn for 2021. Hamilton has spoken of his loyalty to Mercedes, so expect to see the number 44 on a Mercedes car again in 2021. LEWIS HAMILTON: Will Lewis Hamilton stay with the team who have so far brought him five of his six World Championship victories? There seems to be only two reasons why he wouldn’t – retirement or a left field move to Aston Martin with Toto Wolff, should that be a situation that arises. UPDATE: Valtteri Bottas was confirmed to be staying at Mercedes for 2021 on 6th August 2020. Whoever ends up here is likely to be in title contention next year. Whatever the future looks like from a managerial perspective, the team looks set to remain one of the leaders in 2021. Rumours of Mercedes’ departure from the sport were quietly let go ahead of the 2020 season – though murmurs of Toto Wolff departing for Aston Martin continue to swirl.

Meanwhile, Esteban Ocon and Sergio Perez were the only drivers with their positions set for 2021. Outside of those two teams, Max Verstappen signed with Red Bull through to 2023 in early 2020. Replacing Sainz at McLaren is Daniel Ricciardo, with Lando Norris confirmed to be staying at the team for a third year. Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari announced that they would part ways at the end of 2020, and Carlos Sainz was confirmed as his replacement within a matter of days. At the end of 2019, Charles Leclerc signed a new long-term deal with Ferrari, keeping him at the team until 2024.
