The future of Sebastian Vettel beyond the 2020 season remains one of the hot topics of the transfer window. The return of Fernando Alonso in Renault closed a door; the four-time world champion admitted that there had been informal contacts with the French manufacturer but “ nothing very concrete ». 

Vettel also praised the solid structure that was being put in place at Racing Point, which will become Aston Martin starting next year. But it is above all the track Red Bull which has been agitating the paddock for several days. Monday evening, the German was present on the set of Servus TV, owned by the Austrian giant, alongside Max Verstappen. 

Is Vettel ready to face the Dutchman within the same organization?

« When you want to win, you have to accept the prospect of competing against anyone, replied the pilot Ferrari. I know the team very well from our shared history. I am still in contact with several people. My appearance on Servus TV has nothing to do with my future.

I haven't made my decision at this point. I'm going to take my time to figure out if I continue, take a sabbatical, or retire. It's no secret: I'm a competitor and I want to enrich my record ». 

Relaunched specifically to find out what his reaction would be in the event that Red Bull made him a firm offer, Vettel did not close the door. 

« They have a car capable of winning, did he declare. My answer might be yes. ».
