Sebastian Vettel to leave Ferrari at end of season

Sebastian Vettel to leave Ferrari at end of season

Sebastian Vettel to leave Ferrari at end of season

Sebastian Vettel will leave Formula 1 team Ferrari at the end of the year after contract talks between the two broke down with no agreement. The development throws the future of the 32-year-old four-time world champion into doubt. It's all set to end a six-year spell for Vettel at Ferrari. At the moment, Vettel's F1 future looks bleak. Here's more.

Possibilities
How could things pan out?

According to a report in BBC, McLaren driver Carlos Sainz and Renault's Daniel Ricciardo are among those who have been linked to replace Vettel at Ferrari. If Sainz leaves McLaren, the team could opt for Ricciardo, who is believed to be unsettled at Renault. McLaren could try to rope in Vettel. If that doesn't happen, then the German could be an option for Renault.

Scenario
What about Mercedes and Red Bull?

Six-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton sees his contract come to an end at Mercedes this year. However, the Briton had said on Instagram, "There is no dream of another team. I am with my dream team." Meanwhile, Vettel's former team Red Bull said that they would not partner Max Verstappen with another top-line driver. Also, Vettel is likely not to be interested.

Vettel at Ferrari
Vettel fell short of expectations at Ferrari

Vettel had joined Ferrari in 2015 and hoped of winning the title with them. However, he was highly inconsistent during his spell here. 2019 was a disaster for Vettel, who finished fifth in the standings and sealed nine podiums. 2017 and 2018 saw Vettel finish second behind Hamilton. In 2015 and 2016, he finished third and fourth respectively. He secured 14 Grand Prix victories.

Want
Vettel wanted to stay at Ferrari beyond 2020

Last month, in an online news conference, Vettel said he had made it clear he wanted to stay at Ferrari beyond the end of this season. "Whatever the deal will be like, it is whatever I and the team will be comfortable with. In terms of duration, normally the contracts I had in the past were all a three-year deal."

Break down
How things broke down between Ferrari and Vettel?

It has been reported that Ferrari offered Vettel a vastly reduced salary and a shorter contract than he desired. In 2017 and 2018, Ferrari had a faster car but mistakes cost the side. That's where the trust broke down. With Charles Leclerc coming in last year and outwitting Vettel across departments, the latter lost his credibility as the number one. Vettel fell from grace.
