Former Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone advises Mercedes to sign Sebastian Vettel. “This could give employees an emotional boost and also set positive signals for the outside world. The PR effectiveness of Vettel at Mercedes would be mega, ”said the 89-year-old Briton to the German broadcaster Sport1.
Vettel leaves Ferrari at the end of the year and has so far no new employer. The 32-year-old can also say goodbye to Formula 1.
For Ecclestone, Vettel’s separation from Ferrari was foreseeable. Between the “Scuderia” and the German, it was “never the same magic” as with Ferrari and record world champion Michael Schumacher, said the long-standing managing director of the motorsport premier class. “The team and its team bosses have never been more behind Vettel than behind Schumacher,” added Ecclestone.
