Red Bull Racing has confirmed today that Sebastian Vettel has extended his deal to stay with the team until 2014.
That means the current World Champion will have at least four more seasons with RBR, putting an end – for now – to any hopes that Ferrari might have had about tempting him away.
A short statement said simply: “Red Bull announces today that it has extended its agreement with Sebastian Vettel – meaning the current World Champion will remain with Red Bull Racing until the end of 2014.”
What isn’t clear however is whether Adrian Newey intends to still be working at the same rate in 2014 as he is now…
Exactly right Adam, Vettel would be a fool to leave Red Bull so long as Adrian Newey is there. Besides, I can’t imagine an Alonso/Vettel pairing at Ferrari.
