New duel Hamilton-Vettel, Verstappen ready for the title, Leclerc and Gasly hungry: keenly 2019

This is already the last debriefing of the year. Lewis Hamilton finishes the season with a victory in Abu Dhabi. The Brit, still hungry for wins, has won 11 successes and 17 podiums this season. The Mercedes driver really made the difference in his team, but we must still badociate the main team, Toto Wolff. The chef who uses the right people in the right places and puts them in the best conditions. The Austrian does not interfere in the subjects that his men know better.

Sebastian Vettel he finished second, as at the world championship. The German was still beaten despite 12 podiums. It is true that Ferrari missed at one time of the season in the developments brought and then there was this key moment in Germany where Vettel went at fault. The Scuderia still retains the advantage of the number of victories: 235 compared to the 87 of the Mercedes clan. Funny thing on the side of 'silver arrows, there were 9 in 1954, 1955 and 1958, the other 78 successes were gleaned during the hybrid turbo era.

Third in Abu Dhabi, Max Verstappen had started 6th. The Belgian-Dutch, very fit since the summer break has still been able to count on some beautiful muscular duels including with Esteban Ocon and Bottas.

2019 looks really nice after a nice year 2018. Hamilton still appears as the number 1 favorite, but can he find the necessary motivation? Beside him, what about Bottas, zero win this year? The Finn will be under the threat of Ocon, third driver at Mercedes.

The Scuderia Ferrari and Sebastian Vettel will not miss this new appointment. How will he manage Charles Leclerc ? Interrogations also around Red Bull and the Honda engine. Verstappen is in any case ready to play the title, it will be necessary to see what gives his cohabitation with Pierre Gasly.

Will the Renault team be able to get closer to the three top teams with their very nice duo of drivers: Nico Hulkenberg-Daniel Ricciardo ? At Haas, can we maintain the level? On the side of Force India, we will observe with attention Sergio Perez and Lance Stroll. The team will benefit from more resources and may be able to start the season better. Sauber Alfa Romeo will be able to count on the experience of Kimi Räikkönen badociated with young Antonio Giovinazzi. Unknown by Torro Rosso with Kvyat and Alexander Albon which one says the greatest good.

And then there are the two ex-legendary stables. Williams can not do worse than this year. The team will have to rely on the ghost Robert Kubica and the F2 champions George Russell. At McLaren, Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz Jr will have work because the road to the return to the summit is longer than expected even with the Renault engine.
