Vettel and Hamiton would find a way to live together according to James Allison

In recent weeks, the transfer market has gotten really excited with the announcement of the end of the collaboration between Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari, opening the door to the arrival of Carlos Sainz à Maranello, then consequently, to the replacement at McLaren from Spanish by Daniel Ricciardo from Renault.

The future of Sebastian Vettel thus raises questions, but the main person admitted that he wanted above all to concentrate on the upcoming campaign with Scuderia Ferrari. Interviewed in the podcast F1 Nation on the availability of the quadruple world champion, James Allison, technical director of Mercedes-AMG F1, believes that the possibility remains low.

“The first and most obvious thing to say is that we have a very good driver duo today and we have options to access other excellent drivers, says Allison.

So it's not very easy to imagine the stars aligning in such a way that the question is anything other than hypothetical. »

However, the British technical manager admits that the agreement between the two current rivals could be a reality in the event that they evolve in the same structure.

“If this were to happen, I guess both would find a way to make it work, Allison continues. Lewis is a phenomenal driver and Sebastian has quite a few achievements under his belt too, I'm sure the professional side of both would find a way to make it work.

But I find it very difficult to imagine that the many good options we have around us would evaporate to come to this. »
