The contract of Sebastian Vettel at Ferrari expires at the end of this year, while he cannot prove his worth in the car. But according to Mattia Binotto, the value of the German is recognized by the team.
For a long time, Sebastian Vettel did not have to worry about his position in the team, he just had to look to the other teams for competition. With the arrival of Charles Leclerc this has changed a lot and now his contract even expires at the end of 2020.
With the F1 season stalled, he can't prove himself on the track, which is not a favourable position for Vettel in the negotiations. "I don't think the break is good for any driver, as they all love racing and are really part of their lives," explains Binotto at Sky Sports.
The normal course of events
"I know that Sebastian misses the normal course of events and wants to be back on the track as soon as possible, but we can't do that until everything is back to normal and the coronavirus is gone", explains the team boss of Ferrari.
"I think that his desire is to race at any time. Seb is an honest and straightforward person. He loves his job and that's why he is so loved and appreciated at Ferrari". Whether Vettel will get another contract extension with the team is however still in question.
