It's been confirmed yesterday (28/11/19), current Williams reserve driver Nicholas Latifi will race with the Williams F1 Team, for the 2020 Formula 1 season.
Latifi, who has spent 2019 as a reserve driver with the team, with six Friday Morning Practice sessions so far this season while currently sits second in FIA Formula 2 Standings, is stepping up to a race seat alongside George Russell for next season.
In my opinion, this was no big surprise this news happen, with the news of Robert Kubica leaving Williams at the end of the season, Latifi was more than likely to replace him at Williams as he brings sponsorship form Canada replacing Kubica money from Poland.
Hopely Williams team will have a stronger 2020 F1 season.
It was confirmed on Wednesday (27/11/19), both Red Bull Racing and Scuderia Toro Rosso has signed a new engine partnership deal with with Honda to supply both teams their Power-units till 2021.

The Japanese company is still negotiating with both Red Bull teams over the period after 2021.
F1 is heading into a new era in 2021 after the agreement of new technical rules aimed at making racing closer.
In my opinion, this is no major surprise that the news has happen; three Grand Prix wins from Max Verstappen in the Red Bull this season and two podiums for Toro Rosso team with Pierre Gasly and Daniil Kvyat each giving a podium, giving Honda a great reason to stay in Formula 1 another season at least.
Predictions for this weekends Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at Yas Marina Circuit outside of Abu Dhabi for the final round of the 2019 Formula 1 season.

It was confirmed on Wednesday (20/11/19), that Citroen has quits World Rally Championship with immediate effect, with the brand blaming the exit on Sebastien Ogier as the cause for its withdrawal, as he agreed a deal to race with Toyota next season.
There had been speculation that Citroen was unlikely to continue in the WRC beyond 2020, however on Wednesday morning the French manufacturer confirmed its exit with immediate effect, blaming it on "the absence of a first-class driver" being available for next season.
However, they will remains committed to supporting its customer teams next year, will continue to support the R5 variant of the Citroën C3 WRC in the championship's support categories.
Citroen won one hundred and two WRC rounds, won eight WRC Manufacturer titles since 1999 and winning nine WRC Drivers' titles with Sébastien Loeb and Daniel Elena.
My opinion I think it's a sad decision from Citroen that they are leaving the WRC. The excuse was cheap to blame it on Sebastien Ogier leaving for Toyota. I do believe that Citroen reason is (they properly won't say) is focus more on their budget onto the Formula E program and some of their budget is possibly removed from Citroen's parent company, PSA, to focus on their return to the World Endurance Championship from 2021 with Peugeot meaning they have to focus on one rather than the other.
I do hope that Citroen does return to the WRC one day, I believe Citroen is a great brand for the WRC. At least Toyota, M-Sport (Ford) and Hyundai are going no where from the WRC at least for another year.
