It was written in the stars, or rather the rumourmill, and today, Renault F1 has confirmed that Fernando Alonso will return to the team with which he won his two F1 World Championships with.

Otmar did say 'at Racing Point', hoping we would not twig that next year they are not Racing Point
Your right
His sponsors offered more money to Aston Martin thats why they delayed announcing Vettel so if anything hes not got more sponsor commitment.
If you think about it, russel and Perez would be an excellent pairing at Williams, russel gets judged against an accredited racer, and Perez stays in the sport and stays mercedes powered....Racer X wrote: ↑09 Sep 2020, 23:09His sponsors offered more money to Aston Martin thats why they delayed announcing Vettel so if anything hes not got more sponsor commitment.
But it means they weren't negotiating behind the scenes with another team So now they will focus on Plan B it doesnt mean he lost sponsorship.
Seems like his only options are Ferrari based teams. I think it would be cool if he took all his money to Williams.
Not confirmed yet... Expect the unexpected!

Also the translation "So Sebastian Vettel is out?

I am not impressed with how Racing Point are going about this.NathanOlder wrote: ↑09 Sep 2020, 13:23Looks like Perez seat is safe. No to Seb.

I think in the moments he gets a car that handles the way he wants it he’s still quick, tbh. There were still sessions in last year’s Ferrari qualis where Charles was left in the dust a bit. But Aston signing him would be a statement of intent, and his experience would really help the team move forward, imo.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑10 Sep 2020, 02:52Not confirmed yet...

Vettel is expensive, is sorta slow these days but he has 4WDC and a good character... Is this enough? Lol let's wait and see.
You never know what was planned then with Perez's sponsor. It was all about how much Perez will bring to the table and if that deal failed they have no other option but to throw him out.
One needs to keep everyone in good books and Vettel certainly has that skill. Besides, Toto has share holding in Aston Martin and he probably has a visibility into what Aston Martin is up to and must have encouraged Vettel to sign, if he indeed is replacing Perez.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑10 Sep 2020, 02:52Not confirmed yet...

Bottas has been confirmed for Merc though. Ironically Hamilton has not.scrudriver wrote: ↑10 Sep 2020, 04:22Bottas to Racing Point and Vettel alongside Hamilton? With all the Mercedes dominance, might be the masterstroke marketing move for Mercedes.
