Vettel calms rumors about his contract renewal with Red Bull

Sebastian Vettel tries to divert the rumors that he is in the process of renewing his contract with Red Bull until 2015 and admits that the Austrian team would like to renew his contract, even if talking about such a long-term relationship is not easy.

Red Bull uses a correct policy, "you don't change the team that wins". The news of Mark Webber's renewal has recently come out and apparently the extension of the German's contract is also being discussed in these hours. Perfect strategy from many points of view as, to realize a series of great victories, it is necessary that a staff of people can work together in the long term.

“I learned of the news from you journalists” – said Vettel, adding: “talking about a contract with such a long duration is certainly not a simple matter”.

The tension is palpable within the team between the two drivers, even on the football field, as the two national teams are in the same group.

“It's imperative for Germany to beat Australia, they're the weakest team in our group... Mark doesn't think so, but you know, we've been thinking differently about a lot of things for a while now” – thundered the youngster slyly German.
