'Vettel may swap places with Sainz after immoral offer Ferrari'
- GPblog.com
Although the Formula 1 season has not yet started, the 'silly season for 2021, on the other hand, is in full swing. Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc signed up this winter, but there are still many contracts coming to an end. There is a lot of speculation about the future of Sebastian Vettel.
For example, the German would have recently received an offer from Ferrari in which he would earn less and lose the status of first driver. Given Leclerc's performance in 2019, the latter may not be very crazy, but according to Sascha Roos, commentator at Sky Sports Germany, this could be a reason for Vettel to leave.
"He has just received an immoral offer from Ferrari. Perhaps they have made him an offer which he will not sign and then his place will be free for Carlos Sainz". Roos emphasizes that Vettel is not about money, but that losing the status of first driver is especially important. He could in turn take the place of Sainz at McLaren. An exchange that is less crazy than it seems.
"Sebastian and Andreas Seidl know each other well from their time at BMW. McLaren will also get the Mercedes engine, which is not a bad thing. That could be an attractive prospect for Vettel and is perhaps better than staying at Ferrari as a second driver".
