Red Bull Racing dismiss rumours regarding Sebastian Vettel’s contract – Formula 1 news
Red Bull Racing have dismissed all the rumours which stated that their driver, Sebastian Vettel’s contract is until the end of 2016 Formula 1 season.
Vettel has performed amazingly well in this season and has tremendously claimed his third consecutive world championship title with the Milton Keynes based team. Moreover, he has been deemed as one of the most talented drivers in the history of the sport.
The veteran German driver has signed the deal with Red Bull until 2014, but there have been many speculations that he has extended his contract for two more years.
However, the team advisor, Helmut Marko said that they have not made any kind of extension in their deal with the 25-year-old and discharged all the ongoing rumours.
“Total nonsense!” Marko told Germany’s Sport Bild. “I don’t even know the journalists who wrote it, or the news portal. Vettel’s contract is to 2014, full stop.”
There are many who believe that the three-time world champion is not one of the great drivers in the sport as he has attained success only because of his most competent car which has been developed by the chief technical officer, Adrian Newey.
It will be important to mention that Red Bull struggled with their car’s design during the opening few races because of the amendments in the rules and regulations by FIA. Nevertheless, Newey kept on working hard along with his other team members to make
the car competitive enough to challenge their main rivals and came out triumphant in the end.
Therefore, Mark Webber has praised the genius engineer for all his relentless efforts and has called him their beacon of success.
“You have Adrian on the drum kit who's a big beacon for the team here in terms of design and philosophy of where the car needs to be,” Webber said. “Because when you strip it all down that's what it's about; for all smoke and mirrors and that stuff it's
racing car, let's make it as quick as possible to go to every different track around the world and do the business in qualifying and the race.”
