It is far from clear that Sebastian Vettel will also be driving at Ferrari next year. The contract of the four-time world champion expires at the end of this season.
The Italian team would like to continue with the German. Team boss Mattia Binotto does not expect any problems during the negotiations: “Seb is our first choice. I said it before: we have a great duo, probably the best in Formula 1. We are all aware that the contract van Seb expires. But what is more important now is the project that we are all working on. “
Vettel itself, however, still has a blow to the arm. Last week he hinted that the car of 2020 is his priority and that the time for negotiations will follow. But when asked by the German Sportbild if he could end his career somewhere else than at Ferrari, Vettel answered affirmatively: “Yes, absolutely. There are plenty of examples. If I remember correctly, there was a German who already Ferrari went somewhere else. ” Vettel obviously refers to Michael Schumacher who, after his successes at Ferrari, stopped Formula 1 in 2006, but made his comeback at Mercedes in 2010.
However, the question is whether Lewis Hamilton – who is also at the end of his contract with Mercedes – is waiting for Vettel as a teammate. Will there possibly be an exchange between both drivers?
