F1: Predicting the Top 5 teammate rivalries of 2019 

#1 Charles Leclerc vs Sebastian Vettel (Ferrari)

Vettel will find himself challenged but will beat Charles

Sebastian Vettel, a four-time world champion, many believe will be challenged by the undoubtedly talented Charles Leclerc.

Given that the SF90 is yet to hit the tracks but comes from a team that’s been pushed to the limit and has(as seen in various interjections of the 2018 season) been the fastest car on the grid would provide comfort and stability to Vettel’s hopes.

But that Sebastian Vettel, as the purist would note, perhaps handed away the championship through lapses such as the loss at Hockenheimring and collisions at multiple tracks including the one at Monza (where Vettel spun around inside Lap 1) would only increase the pressure should the German feel the heat.

That said, the former ruler at Red Bull will have to exhibit utter control and near perfection such as the 2018 drives at Silverstone (albeit luck-assisted) and Spa-Francorchamps to keep himself in contention for being the top man at Ferrari.

And while one cannot undermine the mega-successful driver, one also cannot rule out the possibility that Charles Leclerc- given the exuberance of youth and sheer maturity as seen in 2018- would challenge his senior endlessly.

Perhaps Vettel will win this battle purely out of the experience.
