A few months ago, I gave my prediction as to who will be on the grid for the 2020 FIA Formula One World Championship season.

Last year, my prediction was poor but this time round it is very nearly spot on.

Take a look…

My Prediction

Mercedes

Lewis Hamilton – Valtteri Bottas

Ferrari

Sebastian Vettel – Charles Leclerc

Red Bull

Max Verstappen – Alexander Albon

McLaren

Carlos Sainz – Lando Norris

Renault

Daniel Ricciardo – Esteban Ocon

Toro Rosso

Daniil Kvyat – Pierre Gasly

Alfa Romeo

Kimi Raikkonen – Antonio Giovinazzi

Racing Point

Lance Stroll – Sergio Perez

Haas

Kevin Magnussen – Nico Hulkenberg

Williams

George Russell – Nicholas Latifi

Apart from thinking that Nico Hulkenberg would replace Romain Grosjean at Haas, my prediction was pretty accurate.

Other than the return of Esteban Ocon, there have been no big moves in the driver market this year.

With Silly Season not delivering any surprises this year, expect some big changes next year or at the very latest in two years time as the competitive order may shake up and the drivers stock changes over time.
