Too many variables right now. who knows, Bottas could implode and never be in the right position to be the wingman. leaving LH exposed to 2 fast ferrari cars.
I think this will put Ferrari a year back. They have clearly struggled with car development in the 2nd half of last year. Now, with this disruption, I reckon they will be even further behind.

Merc is the only top team with no changes going into this year. With all the rule changes, I think they will once again be too strong to beat.

As for Leclerc, I think he is going to put a lot of pressure on Vettel, and might actually beat him in a few races.
