I don't think Mercedes will have a seat for Russel anytime soon
It wouldn't surprise me if Merc didn't take up the 2020 option in his contract, everything hinges on next season but if it continues like this one then they might start looking elsewhere. Decent driver but not quite decent enough in a good car.NRS said:
I would suspect Hamilton wants to make sure he has more WDC than Vettel as he believes he is a better driver, which IMO will be the deciding factor of when he retires.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see him go to a different team once the Merc advantage wanes. To be WDC in three different teams would overshadow Seb and many other drivers in the history books. NRS said:

I can't see Vettel winning another WDC as he is making too many mistakes. He was rattled when Danny Ric arrived at Red Bull and doesn't seem to have recovered.As many WDCs as Fangio, plus 1 more than Prost isn't a bad prize though, for either of them.

I have a feeling that Charles Leclerc will show Vettel up in 2019.As many WDCs as Fangio, plus 1 more than Prost isn't a bad prize though, for either of them.
If so then Vettel will be off just like 2014.
2017 and it's looking like 2018 Vettel has had the chance but blown it.
Ferrari will not put up with this IMO.

But will Lewis want to race for Ferrari at some point? It's still got this allure for nearly every driver in F1. If he does he could go to Maranello for a couple of years.
He’s mentioned in interviews a few times this year about life after F1. I think it’ll be end of this current contract in 2020 and retirement. MissChief said:

There were some rumours regarding a VET-HAM switcheroo, but this was well before they signed the contracts.Formula 1: Is Kimi Raikkonen right to stay in F1? - Jolyon Palmer

Didn't Wolf hint recently that he might not be too long at the helm though ?
The latest missed apex podcast with toto is worth a listen.1. The reasons he wants to support upcoming talent . (Give them the support he didn’t have - money etc)
2. His relationship with Lewis and what happened after Nico WC.
3. His investment in Williams and now Mercedes F1. He’s F1 first, investment second. I’ve admired him since his Williams days but the way he’s dealt with Merc has been exemplary.
I could try harder to summarise but worth a listen. It’s free and illuminating.
He’s a part owner, he’s invested. It’s not a case of him chucking it in or otherwise. His contract for his current role is immaterial.
