That the break between Ferrari and Sebastian Vettel did not come about harmoniously, may now be clear. Vettel revealed in Austria that he was not even offered a contract and his 'resignation' was ended with a phone call. In the meantime it has led to some cynical jokes on the paddock.

Vettel has always maintained a good relationship with both Christian Horner and Helmut Marko after his departure from Red Bull Racing. Not surprising when you consider that they owe their greatest successes to each other.

Vettel, Horner and Marko are having too much fun

However, in recent weeks the three have been seen together very often. At the Austrian Grand Prix even without a mouth shield, which reprimanded the teams. These 'meetings' are further oil on the fire for the rumours about a possible return of the German to the Austrian team.

Whether that's true, will have to be proven, but that the three are having a good time, is clear from the last conversation. It shows that they haven't lost their humour yet. "Have they even taken your name off now?", Horner teasingly asks. "That's a bit harsch".
