The driver who can wreck F1's 2020 silly season

By:

Most of the top drivers in Formula 1 are facing intriguing 2020s. If things go one way, there could be a much-changed grid in '21. But, as Scott Mitchell explains in his final Motorsport.com column, only if one racer doesn't get everything right this season

Almost all the best drivers in Formula 1 are all set to be out of contract at the same time at the end of this year.

Lewis Hamilton to Ferrari? Max Verstappen to Mercedes? Sebastian Vettel back to Red Bull? Anything feels possible for 2021. It boasts unprecedented potential for an explosive driver market during the upcoming season.
