Sebastian Vettel at Racing Point – a year ago this relationship would have been unthinkable. As Sebastian Vettel had a contract with Ferrari, and Racing Point was a small team from the midfield. Not an attractive Destination for a four-time world champion. Now Racing Point, Vettel’s only Chance. And sporty it’s not a bad Option. The RP20 is the third-fastest car in the field. If the team that was saved to 2018 by canadian billionaire Lawrence Stroll out of insolvency, is learning now to be a top Team, then McLaren, Ferrari and Renault have a military opponent in the battle for third place in the constructors ‘ championship.
Mercedes, Red Bull, McLaren and Renault to come for Vettel as a new Team, for various reasons, not out of the question – Racing Point but very good. “On paper it may look that way, as that would be my only Option, but the reality has often shown that things are in formula 1 can be used to quickly change,” said Vettel. He does not want to give the impression that he had reached a cul-de-SAC. Especially: “First of all, I must know what I want at all. I take my time. If I decide to make More, I’m going to look at what is still possible.“
“Nothing for just a season”
But Racing Point receives praise from him. “You have made a good development, and the Speed of the car in the first two races was impressive.” This Sunday (15.10 in the F. A. Z.-Liveticker Formel 1, as well as at RTL and Sky) is the next Grand Prix, this time in Hungary. Vettel’s former team-mate Daniel Ricciardo has made the step from the top to the bottom is already behind, he says: “Seb nearly his entire career at the front. A level is deeper alien Terrain for him. To this task he needs to go open minded and you as a long-term project to consider. This is nothing only for a season.“
reports that Vettel had already signed a contract to be denied by Racing Point. You don’t do it in four days between the second and third Grand Prix. Especially since some of the hurdles would be to take. The contract of Sergio Perez from running until the end of 2022, the ends of Lance Stroll, only when it wants to be a father. The 21-year-old canadian is considered to be set, regardless of the performance he brings. His father has invested around 400 million dollars in the career of his son. He will support you so long as, to him, the Filius says that he has no desire or his canadian business partner, suggest, better to think of the future of the team than his son. The racing team from Silverstone, the go in the coming year as Aston Martin at the Start, with Vettel and Perez is a Power.
Perez has perceived the rumours of Vettel. The Mexicans called the team management, who assured him that the contract situation. However, the 30-Year-old from Guadalajara, has become suspicious. He drives ten years in formula 1, he knows the business. “In formula 1 nothing is completely safe. As far as I know, I have a contract with this Team,“ he says. And: “another Team has reported already with me.” The US team Haas F1 wanted to commit the most underrated driver in formula 1 ever. Eight podium placements in inferior cars speak for themselves.
