Sebastian Vettel doesn't know yet what he's going to do next year. The German has an expiring contract at Ferrari so he will have to make a choice in the coming period. According to Mika Hakkinen it depends mainly on his motivation. In addition, the Finn sees Lewis Hamilton as a favourite as soon as the season starts.
The former world champion believes that Sebastian Vettel is an asset to a lot of teams, but then Vettel must really want to. "I believe that Sebastian's future depends entirely on his personal motivation. He is still young enough to compete for years, so if he wants to continue he will be a reinforcement for all teams", said the Finn versus T-online.de.
Where the future of Vettel lies is still unclear. The German hasn't made a choice yet. As soon as he chooses a team other than Ferrari there seem to be a lot of changes among the drivers. Until then it is mainly waiting for the choice of the current Ferrari driver.
Hamilton favourite
Lewis Hamilton will be the favorite as soon as the season starts Hakkinen thinks. "He makes very few mistakes and is very mature. He knows his car inside out but he is still learning things. I think it will be difficult for the others to beat him."
