For weeks the rumours about the future of Sebastian Vettel have been buzzing. The most plausible of these is that he will come out ahead of Racing Point / Aston Martin next year. However, Red Bull Racing is also mentioned here and there as an option and now a third team has joined.
Rumours about a possible return to Red Bull are fuelled, among other things, by the many contacts that Christian Horner and Helmut Marko seem to have with the Ferrari driver in recent weeks. Of course that doesn't have to be about a seat for 2021 at Red Bull Racing, but what about that other team, AlphaTauri?
Franz Tost is just like Helmut Marko a fan of Vettel
"Sebastian started there. Franz Tost, like Helmut Marko, is a big fan of his, so I can see something starting there", says Ralf Schumacher on Sky Germany, who does set a condition for what would be a surprising turn of events.
According to him it depends on the outcome of the protest against Racing Point of Vettel seriously considering this option. If the protest is rejected, AlphaTauri might be able to get access to the same material as Red Bull Racing. "I can imagine that Red Bull would then take a different approach and give both teams the same cars".
