Just as per my forecast, Vettel is to leave Ferrari after this season which can be a short one or no season at all:

Vettel commands big money, but he does not have the results in 2019 to substantiate Ferrari's generosity!  On top of it all, he self-inflicted many accidents/incidents which ruined his chances of winning a championship for Ferrari in 2018 and 2019.

Sainz replaces Vettel
https://www.gpfans.com/en/articles/52491/official-sainz-replaces-vettel-at-fer ...

My guess is that Vettel will retire!

1.  Vettel asked for too much money and wants a competitive car.  NOT too many Teams can provide that, which leaves only MB on his plate.
Bottas is Toto Wolf's brain child, is a good wing-man for Hamilton, why should MB destroy a winning combination?
2.  Vettel has a history of winning at all costs, INCLUDING pushing team mate out of the track, thus wrecking the Team's chance of a 1-2 finish, e.g. with Mark Webber at Red Bull, with LeClerc at ferrari.  MB does not need that.
3.  Vettel has passed his prime (he was NEVER the best even during his prime IMHO), he is on the way out. There are a lot of young drivers with better long term potential and cost far less.
4.  Vettel has no intention of making the same mistake which Alonso made., by joining a developing team.

The latest news is that the first 2020 F1 GP will start in Austria on JUL05, BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.

It was also reported that the week after the Austrian F1 GP, there will be another race on the same track, still under closed doors.  I don't quite understand the news, what will they call the second race?

All auto-racing fans will look forward to that long awaited first 2020  F-1 Race in Austria.  The 2nd race of the year will also be in Austria - a week after the first.

Qualifying Session for 2020's first race, the Austrian F-1 GP,  hasn't started yet, if practice time is any indication, MB will continue to be strong in 2020.

In practice, repeat practice session only, Hamilton and Bottas were the fastest.

Qualifying Session is now finished.

Bottas took  the pole.  He was .02" ahead of Hamilton who was in 2nd, but 0.5" ahead of Max.  Ferrari was a non-factor and was not even close in 5th or 6th!

2020's first F-1 race will start at 0900 Toronto time.  There will be live telecast on TSN Channel 30 (my area, check your area's TV listing).  

At the moment. it is pre-race interviews.

Should be an interesting race between the MB driver and Max.  Forget about Ferrari, not fast enough + Vettel didn't even make it to the final round of Qualifying due to slow times.

Will keep you all motor racing fans posted!

The first race of the 2020 season has just ended.  It was a uninteresting race as there were a lot of DNF and drop-outs, barely 50% of entrants finished the race.

1.  Before the race even began, Hamilton was given a 3 place penalty for not observing the yellow flag during qualifying.  Towards the  end of the race, while in 2nd place, he was given a 5" penalty for squeezing another driver into a spin.  This took Hamilton out of a podium finish all together.

2.  First driver to drop out was Max due to mechanical/electronical issue.  Soon afterwards, many other cars dropped out too.  

3.  While the two MBs were leading the way, Team Manager to preserve their cars as gear boxes were developing problems.  Of course, Hamilton was later penalized 5" which took him out completely of contention.

Finally, the chequered flag cam out, and Bottas won the race.

Let's hope that 2020's  2nd Race which is a week from today, and still in Austria will give us a better race!
