SebastianVettel is a complex soul. The
private Seb is a thoughtful family man
who shuns social media and takes great
pleasure from the simple things in life. He
also has a great passion and knowledge
for the history of F1. Sometimes the serene
Seb is in the cockpit and he appears
totally in command. Then there are other
occasions when he puts a crash helmet
over his head and becomes a different
animal: someone who isn’t afraidto disobey
team orders or criticise race control, orget
involved in wheel-to-wheel contact with his
team mate. Which Seb will we see in 2020?

GP RACING VERDICT
Vettel hasto fight his inner demons if he is
to succeed atFerrari. He needsto clear his
mind and start afresh.

It’s not easyhaving afour-time world
champion as ateam-mate – but Charles
Leclerc made it looklikechild’s play at times
last year. He emerged as a threatto Vettel
immediately –andshouldhave won race
two in Bahrainuntil he suffered apower
unit problem. But mistakes and pressure
hamperedLeclerc’s first half of the season.
Then hefound a groove on Saturdaysand
outqualified Seb nine timesin a row. There
were fractious moments between the pair
which Mattia Binotto needsto control if the
red cars areto mount a title challenge.

GP RACING VERDICT
Having tiedLeclercto a long-term deal,
Ferrari seemsto be putting its weight
behind him – he now hasto regularly beat
Vettelto bede factonumber one.
