just my opinion, but im feeling a Mika Hakkinen at the end of 97 type situation here...out of the title hunt so set up Leclerc as their next title hopeful, give him the momentum through the off season, plant the challenge flag now and that means Leclerc notching up some more race wins by this seasons end.
remains to be seen if Vettee will willingly play the role of Coulthard or not...i doubt he will so imo its going to be an interesting 8 races!
