Formula 1 | Vettel renewed, Binotto calm: “We'll start talking soon” [VIDEO]

Sebastian Vettel remains Ferrari's first option as regards the line-up for the 2021 season. Interviewed by the international media during the pre-season tests in Barcelona, ​​Mattia Binotto clarified some points regarding the contract renewal of the four-time champion of the World, underlining how the Red team, despite the ups and downs of recent years, wants to continue the collaboration started at the beginning of the 2015 season.

A strong idea that would guarantee the team a solid foundation on which to build the future. Vettel, we remember, will expire at the end of this season and no indiscretion regarding the new contract has yet filtered out of Maranello (there is talk of a 1+1 proposal, but nothing official). A situation that would allow the German to evaluate his path within the Scuderia del Cavallino step by step.

“We have already said it in the past: Sebastian is our first choice,” Binotto said. “We are all aware that your contract will end this year, but we will soon start talking more calmly. The most important thing is sharing the project and our long-term vision. I am sure that we will reach an agreement very soon."

We'll see how the story evolves over the next few weeks.
