In mid-May it was announced that the German would leave Ferrari at the end of this year’s championship. The stable with Maranello decided not to present its driver with a new contract, reaching for Carlos Sainz from McLaren.
Since then, Vettel’s future has been the subject of speculation and it was believed that he has entered into talks with Mercedes, Red Bull and Renault. Despite this, the representatives of these teams were to convey to the 33-year-old that they do not take him into account in the context of the 2021 season.
