“I am very happy to be staying on with Scuderia Ferrari. This past season, driving for the most illustrious team in Formula 1 has been a dream year for me. I cannot wait to enjoy an even deeper relationship with the team after what has been an intense and exciting 2019. I’m keen to see what the future holds and I can’t wait to get going again next season.”

It will be interesting to see VET's response in 2020. Will this energize him to get his butt in gear, or will he simply capitulate? Should be fun to watch.
2020 will probably be his last year, so expect fireworks.
And who will be his wingman ? SAI ?
