    Red Bull confident of keeping Vettel
    Tue, 23 Nov 12:31:00 2010

    Bull Racing says it is planning to retain the services of newly crowned F1 champion Sebastian Vettel for at least three to four more years, although it would be willing to allow the German to move on if the team was unable to provide him with a competitive car.

    Vettel had been quoted as saying that he wouldn’t rule out a move to one of the historic names in F1, such as Ferrari, at some point in the future although he remains committed to the team that carried him to his maiden title.

    Red Bull has made no secret of its desire to sign Vettel up to a new deal for some time although team advisor Helmut Marko insists that a new contract won’t be as long as the ten years that had been reported in some sections of the press.

    "Let's be clear: there is not going to be a ten-year contract, because we are not able to guarantee we will have a competitive car for that long," he told Express, "and Sebastian cannot guarantee that he will always be comfortable with us.

    "But in the medium term, the next three or four years, we are firmly planning to be with him."

    Red Bull boss Dietrich Mateschitz meanwhile revealed that the team wouldn’t stand in Vettel’s way if it didn’t produce a competitive car but said the team firmly intended to make it as difficult as possible for him to consider going anywhere else.

    "[If the car was not competitive], we would let him go even if he had a contract," he told Welt am Sonntag. "Seb wants to drive for Ferrari some day. We will make it as difficult a decision for him as possible."

    +1 Dererk, I can't imagine fred having any part of that, Kubica would be bad enough for him. (though I think Kubica is a better driver than Seb)

    Indeed. A somewhat different "spin" in Autosport (from a Bild piece apparently) - "Vettel not tempted by legendary teams".....

    I personally think it's only a question of when, not if, he is racing in a Ferrari ;)

    Personally I would look for him to spend another 2 yrs at Red Bull and then make the jump...

    Only if Ferrari continue to be at the top. If not, it may be awhile until he ends up in Maranello.....

    He's just become the youngest ever drivers champ. Imagine the buzz he'd get if he were not only able to surpass the number of championships his hero MS got, but also the number he got with Ferrari!

    He's already got a head start.

    What if Vettel brought Newey with him to the Scuderia? Dream Team 2?

    not that I'll ever see Red Bull letting Newey go...they'd give him the moon if they had to...as long as he's there and motivated he can design the best chassis out there and give one of the top guns a great car to fight for a championship with. Newey is a HUGE asset with his occupation giving him a long career yet...

    Everyone can sense that Vettel would like to retrace some of the steps of his great mentor, MS...
