The Scuderia would have decided to call only the young Monegasque to drive the SF90 mule car which will be fitted with 18-inch Pirelli tires in the Jerez test. The Cavallino team focuses on the driver who also has a contract for 2021, so Vettel remains on the bench.
A choice that explains a situation: Charles Leclerc will be the Ferrari driver in charge of developing the 18-inch Pirelli tires in the two-day test at Jerez della Frontera.

The young Monegasque driver will be in Andalusia on 8 and 9 February with an SF90 mule car to become familiar with the lowered tires that Formula 1 will adopt in 2021 on the new single-seaters.

The Milanese company will dedicate one day to 18 inches and the other to the more traditional 13 inches 2019 which will be mounted on a red one to have adequate comparison data. In case of bad weather there will be a reversal of the order of works which opens the 25 days of testing that Pirelli has agreed with the FIA ​​and the teams.

Interestingly, Mattia Binotto has decided to field only the pilot who has a contract valid for next season (Charles has extended until 2023), while Sebastian Vettel is about to expire an agreement at the end of this season and will have to negotiate during the season any renewal.

The vision, therefore, is very clear, and we believe in this, but someone suggests that a team hierarchy on the approach to the season of the two Cavallino riders can also be read.
