Vettel counters Rosberg criticism

"To be honest, I don't know for myself yet," said the 33-year-old as a guest on the Sport and Talk program from Hangar 7 Servus TV : “It is of course important to find an environment that fits somewhere.”

The second big issue was his mediocre start to the season in Spielberg. That's why Vettel had to take a lot of criticism from some experts. Nico Rosberg also took harsh measures against his compatriot. “This is inexplicable and disappointing. I also found it sobering how he talked himself out of it in the interview. “Of course it’s not an application letter for other teams,” Rosberg said after the race.

The opinion of the 2016 world champion doesn't seem to be particularly important to Vettel: "Good, Nico leans out of the window every time, no matter who," Vettel countered. “This spin shouldn’t happen to me, no question about it. “I was very annoyed about it,” he admitted. In general, the car is not as strong this year as he had hoped: “We are certainly not where we should be.” “The title with Ferrari was the big goal” Sebastian Vettel The German explained that he had “enjoyed the last five years very much in many ways, but the last five years also took a lot of energy.” The goal was to rebuild the Ferrari team: “Everyone certainly tried everything, but in the end we failed on both sides.” The title didn’t materialize: “That was the big one Goal." “Motorsport is my life” Sebastian Vettel The important thing for him now is to “find something that works for me, that I enjoy.” The financial aspect is “not at all the focus”. Of course, he is still “very ambitious,” assured Vettel: “Motorsport is my life, I just don’t want to miss it, and I think that with the right job and in the right place, I would still feel very at home in it a Formula 1 car.” What could Vettel's future look like? The next few weeks and months, says Vettel, “will provide information about what is possible for me.” Immediately after it became known, he called his old confidant and former employer Helmut Marko (head of motorsport at Red Bull, editor): “But not to ask, Helmut, do you have a place for me, but simply to ask for his advice listen."

However, Red Bull team boss Christian Horner largely ruled out Vettel returning to Red Bull. “If he were to leave Formula 1, it would be a loss,” said the Briton: “But it is difficult to accommodate him. We didn't expect him to be on the market and be thrown out so rudely by Ferrari." Red Bull is apparently also planning beyond 2020 with drivers Max Verstappen and Alex Albon.

Currently, says Vettel, he has three options for next season: “Continue driving, stop completely, take a year off.” He sees the door at Mercedes closed for him: “I think they will continue with Lewis and Valtteri , even if the official announcement is still pending.”
