Amid confusing signals emanating from Ferrari regarding their 2015 driver line-up, quadruple world champion Sebastian Vettel continues to talk as if his touted move to Maranello is a done deal. It is an open secret that the reigning world champion, having already confirmed his departure from Red Bull, is switching to Ferrari next year. But while the man he is replacing – Fernando Alonso – continues his contractual impasse with Maranello, Vettel is still unable to say anything. “I am hoping to announce what is happening soon,” the 27 year old told Auto Motor und Sport, “but right now we have to be patient.” Still, Vettel is now giving hints away that his next overalls will definitely be red, “I am aware that a big task is lying before me. especially at a time when Mercedes has a huge competitive advantage.” He said staying at Red Bull would have been the easiest decision to make, “Doing something else is a step into the unknown and therefore a risk. But I thought about it a lot. “If I was not convinced that I am able to be successful there, I would not be doing it. So this is not a decision against Red Bull, but to do something new.” It does sound as though Vettel, beaten this year by Red Bull’s new signing Daniel Ricciardo, needed a new challenge.
