Former Formula One owner and boss Eddie Jordan is not afraid to make bold predictions, and his latest predictions are definitely one. According to the Irish Lewis Hamilton will go to Ferrari, and Mercedes, Honda and Renault will retire from the sport in the next two years. He pointed to the German journalist Ralph Bach the current crisis as the main reason for this situation at the Grand Prix.
“It all revolves around Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstapen. I don’t know Vettel very much (unlike Hamilton), but my opinion is that he has no choice but to resign or join McLaren. The Ferrari train has long since He left for him. Lewis will go to the Scuderia. Only the Italians can still pay his salary and they know it’s worth it. Verstapen remains at Red Bull and will try to beat Lewis, but it will be very difficult, “Jordan said.
The situation with the contracts of the main Formula One drivers (with the exception of Verstapen and Charles Löckler) remains unclear. Hamilton does not have a new signed contract. Vettel is said to have rejected Ferrari’s offer of a one-year, $ 12 million salary contract. It has even been said that the four-time world champion has classified the Scuderia’s proposal as a “joke”. According to the Italian media, Maranello has already searched for Daniel Ricciardo, Carlos Sainz and Antonio Giovinaci.

Eddie Jordan also believes that concerns about leaving the manufacturers’ sport will come true, though not immediately.
“The world has changed enormously because of the coronavirus. People’s values are different. Protecting the environment comes up a lot on the list. And for company bosses, that means rethinking things. I am convinced that manufacturers like Mercedes, Honda and maybe Renault will mark the line and finish Formula One in the next two years. There is no other move for the Mercedes leadership. They accomplished and won it all. They will sell the team, probably to Lawrence Stroll, who wants to become world champion with his son and Aston Martin, and that will be difficult to achieve with Racing Point. “
Jordan also said that the drop in the price of oil also has implications for the sport.
“The oil companies will not be able to pay tens of millions of sponsorships a year. Petronas will stop the money and this will open up a huge gap in the (Mercedes) budget,” he explained.
