Well, I *have* been wondering what would happen to the F1 team after Daimler-Benz has said they would stop developping fossil-fuel engines for their road products in order to concentrate on electric motors.

Right, hence they joined Formula E and this will be their second season.

Who knows? If they pulled another one out of the bag and getting another double trophy for 2020. That's perfect 7 for 7 double. So I think they will be happy and letting it go for someone famous like Penske, who will be prepared to continue the success with the brand new rules for the new 2021 spec car.
