Depends on the perspective. Sure from Vettel's side they could not agree on terms on their relationship. He walks away and tells everyone they are still friends and broke up on amicable terms.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Ferrari on the other hand holds the bigger cards. If Vettel does not play ball... dump his arse. Get into bed with a younger driver, better marketing prospects, better investment for the future. Ferrari does not age. Drivers do and they need to manage the latter part of their career better. Vettel lost it last year when a younger driver came along. Vettel got dumped.
He should have focused on his drive with Ferrari last year. His driving last year showed that he is not a spring chicken anymore and not a team player. He should have focused his drive on helping push Leclerk up. Do the old master and apprentice routine at least. Through that, the focus could have been pushed on the Ferrari team to do better, rather than the drivers.
If he can keep his cool. I'd actually like him in a Merc so they can bitchslap Ferrari.If you were Vettel, what would you guys do? Mercedes(very very unlikely IMO) or retirement? He doesn't strike me like a guy like Kimi who just wants to race. Vettel wants to be in a winning car.
On a side note, Im stoked for Carlos.
