Doubtful, he was quite keen in getting a new contract sorted back in the summer. He's chasing records now.
Ocon has signed long term with Alpine too so there will be some major upsets.

Re: 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Free Practice & Qualifying Thread
With Pirelli bringing the softer compound range C3-C5 I think the advantage Merc have may be reduced. Merc have been strong everytime the C1-C3 range was taken (bar Dutch GP) and RB appear to be stronger with the C3-C5 range (Azerbaijan bar the blow out and Austria winning with large margin). Saudi ...

Re: Who's going to be champion?
Hamilton has been very strong post engine change in Brasil and one would expect him to carry the form in Abu Dhabi. However I think the tyres may close the advantage they have. Pirelli are bringing the softer compound (C3C4C5) range to Abu Dhabi. To date, Ham has won everytime they bought the harder...

Re: Massa gets a new gearbox to promote Alonso to clean side
If Massa was mathematically possible to win the WDC then it was not fair for him to take the hit.
He know's this and if he's in a better position next year for a WDC chance then I'm sure ferrari wont pull this trick.
I think any other team would of done the same.
