Vettel: “Continue with Kimi also in 2016? Why not, but I don't decide..."

In an interview given to Sky Sport during today's road show in Budapest, Sebastian Vettel spoke again about Kimi Raikkonen and the possibility of continuing to race with the Finn in the next championship. The German from the Red explained that he has great respect for the 2007 World Champion, specifying that the many criticisms coming from the press and enthusiasts do not perfectly respect the talent and speed demonstrated by his teammate in recent years.

Upon direct question from journalists, Vettel specified that he would like to continue with Kimi in 2016, but the final decision will be taken only by the management of the Scuderia del Cavallino.

Here are the words of Sebastian Vettel: “Kimi will soon be the driver we all know again. He is experiencing a season full of ups and downs, but we are talking about a talent who knows how to do his job perfectly. It's true, this year he has made some small mistakes but in some circumstances he has also been very unlucky, so everything must be evaluated with the right proportions. He has eleven races to demonstrate his speed."

“Obviously I would like to continue with him. We have a great relationship and we motivate each other, but it's not up to me to decide. Of course Ferrari will be able to make the right assessments for the future"He concluded.
