Sebastian Vettel is not in talks with Ferrari for the 2014 season and beyond. That is the firm belief of Red Bull team boss Christian Horner, who has recently spoken at length with his driver as rumour after rumour continues to circulate the Formula 1 paddock.
With several journalists having questioned Felipe Massa’s form in 2012, the list of theoretically possible replacements continues to grow and includes both Red Bull drivers. However, Horner is confident that Vettel is not on his way towards Maranello.
“I have spoken with Sebastian about it and he's made it quite clear that he hasn't had any dialogue and hasn't signed anything with Ferrari,” the Team Principal is quoted as saying by Reuters. “The rumour mill always will continue...I think most of our team has been going to Ferrari at some point this year, whether it be Adrian (Newey, Chief Technical Officer), Mark (Webber), Sebastian and even myself at one stage.
“Sebastian is very comfortable in the team and the team is very comfortable with Sebastian. He's been with Red Bull for over 12 years now and I think he will be us for quite a few years to come. I have no concern over Sebastian and where he will be in 2013, 2014 or beyond and I don't think Ferrari is a must for him - he's very happy where he is.”
F1 now travels back to Silverstone, where in 2011 Ferrari won its only race of the season as the dicing Red Bull duo completed the podium, with Vettel ahead of Webber.
