Last year proved to be a bit of a rollercoaster for the Prancing Horse. Many pundits believed its car had the inherent pace to challenge the Mercedes’ but try as they might, the team couldn’t get close to matching the pace of Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas from Mercedes. Leclerc ultimately finished the season in fourth with two victories to his name while Vettel claimed fifth in the championship with one race victory.
The big news for Scuderia Ferrari heading into the 2020 season is that just before Christmas, Leclerc’s contract with the team was extended by five years until the end of 2024. Vettel is signed with the outfit until the end of the 2020 season. His future with the team will likely depend on how well he performs this year.
