Ferrari

Charles Leclerc vs. Sebastian Vettel

More from Formula One

Four-time Formula 1 champion Sebastian Vettel is a proven threat to win races and contend for championships in the sport while Charles Leclerc is an up-and-coming driver who embodies everything that the recent “youth movement” is all about.

Vettel, however, has proven to be very mistake-prone, especially over the last two seasons, and that has cost him the potential to win two more championships. If he can’t fix this, Leclerc may become Ferrari’s top driver assuming he does not let the pressure of driving for the Scuderia get to him.

The pick: Charles Leclerc

Mercedes

Valtteri Bottas vs. Lewis Hamilton

Lewis Hamilton is a five-time Formula 1 champion. Valtteri Bottas is a three-time Formula 1 race winner. In their first two seasons as teammates, Hamilton has won two championships and earned 20 victories while Bottas has earned the first three victories of his career. In the last 24 races, Hamilton has won two championships. In the last 32 races, Bottas has earned one race victory. This past season, he earned none. Nothing more needs to be said here.

The pick: Lewis Hamilton
