What can you expect from a man who has been nearly a decade away from the highest level of motorsports and comes back crippled, driving the absolutely worst car in a grid against new generation's one of finest? The fact that Kubica was able to even do such comeback is a story of itself. The results were par with Michael Schumacher's comeback. It was never going to be a Cinderella story, not like the first three Rocky movies. Don't hate Robert for not delivering that, because life is rarely making miracles possible. That's why they are called miracles. Kudos for Kubica for trying the impossible.

The 2 biggest keys to 2021 will be how RBR-Honda will perform and if Mercedes keeps the team going.

If RBR-Honda fails to deliver, Max will be looking elsewhere. Potentially triggering big shifts
If Mercedes sells the team (potentially to Penske) I can see Hamilton move to Ferrari.

I recall Hamilton making a big deal of the negotiation for the extension of his deal with Mercedes while Toto saying that renewing with Lewis is Mercedes highest priority right now. The fact this negotiation doesn't look as easy as it seems makes me wonder there is something under the surface.

And I do believe Hamilton fears to engage his future to a team that isn't exactly engaged to Formula 1.

I think in the future, we would end up in F1 with a bunch of independent engine builders, and Ferrari.

From your keyboard to God's ears.

Found an interesting thing on Reddit (rare I know)

In short. WADA is banning Russia for 4 years. FIA supports WADA. Therefor F1 is major sporting event. Therefor Kvyat could potentially enter the 2020 season a driver with a Neutral nationality.

It be interesting to see how this pans out eventually. In a few years this would be an interesting trivia question: What driver drove under a Neutral nationality in F1?

What about Sochi? Will it be called European Grand Prix?

Ferrari in 1989 had a 100% podium record, when they finished a race.

if a Ferrari driver DNF the first 10 races of the season today everyone would be wanting him to be dropped out of the team

He ended up winning (suck shit, the more I read about Mansell, including one of his own books, the more I dislike him)
