My money is on [Leclerc] taking Vettel to the cleaners.
Mine too. It’s not as if Vettel hasn’t previously been shown up by a newcomer, and Monza showed everyone that he doesn’t have the level of support from Ferrari that Schumacher or Alonso had. I suspect they’ll be gradually moving their eggs into a Leclerc-shaped basket already.
So I think there are three definite contenders for the WDc next year: Hamilton, Vettel and Leclerc. If Honda get their act sorted then Verstappen will be right there, too. Bottas and Gasly won’t get a look in, sadly not will Ricciardo.
Hopefully McLaren and Williams can get their cars sorted. They both claim to have found the root of their problems, so we shall see.
Whatever pans out with the cars, though, there are a lot of driver pairings that will be interesting to watch early in the season and a couple which could provide some sparks.
