Red Bull management has rejected the possibility of hiring Sebastian Vettel for next season’s Formula One season
Vettel’s contract with Ferrari will end after this year, and the 33-year-old driver announced in May that he would then leave the Italian stable. The German pilot is still out of place for the upcoming season and recently stated that he would not resist returning to Red Bull, with which he won the championship from 2010 to 2013.
But Red Bull boss Christian Horner turned it down. “We have had great times with Myself and they will be part of the history of our stable forever.” said the official. “We did not expect it to be available, and we also trust our existing riders. In Max (Verstappen) and Alex (Albon) we have a very good and promising pair,” he added.

“So I have to say clearly: No. And I think Sebastian is aware of that,” Horner added. Vettel’s future in formula is thus very uncertain. “It’s very unusual for a four-time champion to be without a contract for a new year this time. I think he has two options: Racing Point, or be out for a year and try later,” Horner said.
But Racing Point also ruled out Vettel’s arrival. “We are flattered that everyone thinks the four-time world champion should race for us. Maybe it’s because we have a fast car this year, but we have long-term contracts with both of our drivers, so we don’t have a place,” said team boss Otmar Szafnauer. .
Racing Point drivers are the son of team owner Lance Stroll and Sergio Pérez, who signed a three-year contract last August.
