Sebastian Vettel has chosen to leave Red Bull, the team with which he won four world titles. If the destination is not official yet, there is little mystery that German will join Ferrari in a divorce with Fernando Alonso. Vettel there a reason to join Scuderia being restructured? There are many questions in the paddock starting with the reasons that led to this separation between the Red Bull and its leader.
“ New pair of drivers for 2015 “. The statement, titled and with the team, has been a bombshell on Saturday in the Suzuka paddock. Red Bull surprised everyone by formalizing the end of his collaboration with Sebastian Vettel at the end of the 2014 season Forced, Forced actually. The German was arrived at Red Bull in 2009 but remained on a season and a half in the sister team Toro Rosso (picking up his first win at Monza in 2008). The father of the German, interviewed by Die Zeit in 2009, confided in addition that the financial assistance provided by Red Bull since 2004 had been decisive. Asked after the qualifying session of the Japanese Grand Prix, Vettel did not hide his emotion. “ Red Bull and I had an amazing journey together, has he said to the press . Obviously it’s hard but at some point, you want to do something different. This is a very hard to take after 15 years together with Red Bull decision, it’s a tough day. “
Vettel, Red Bull, Red Bull-Vettel, the alliance natural long appeared between the brand of energy drinks and the young German with long teeth. The duo has been synonymous with success, 48 in F1 with incredible quadrupled world championship drivers from 2010 to 2013, then why this departure, whispered a few weeks, already suspected for several months without one can not fully anticipate that the outcome would be so fast, the world champion who still have a year contract? If Vettel ensures leave without regrets or glitches, it is not entirely forced to believe the German. The latter has experienced all the trouble to adapt to the new regulations. More stubborn on the brakes, weighed down by a Renault engine power deficit compared to Mercedes, its RB 10 was so at odds with the behavior of previous arrows. The fall was hard to digest and made more difficult by the three successful new teammate Daniel Ricciardo.
Vettel, regularly beaten by Australia, was no longer felt so supported internally. Small successive sentences of his bosses urging him repeatedly to rectify would they touched in his ego, who thought him to be untouchable? Possible. It focuses today anyway to the sensibilities. “ I’m not leaving because I do not like the team, people and the current situation, I do not run away from anything. This was the right time, there was a voice in the inside me and thirst to do something again , he said. So even if it’s not the easiest decision to make, you have to listen to your heart and make your way. I feel ready and the time has come to start something else . “
Vettel, who has no agent and manages his career alone would have prevented its Friday patrons, who have thus drawn a press release in the next few hours in the middle of a weekend Grand Prix, probably knowing that the information would be difficult to hide any longer. They have so little slow they have even replaced the German! Russian Daniil Kvyat today at Toro Rosso, will join the team mother. Precipitation, calculation or small tinted contrast to what some deem as a lack of tact? Christian Horner, team boss of Red Bull, has let go what everyone knows. “ Ferrari makes it a very attractive offer ” Has he told Autosport. If Ferrari, including news we are still waiting on Fernando Alonso initially inevitable, has not yet confirmed anything, Vettel should be fine leaving for Italy in a Scuderia in perpetual reconstruction last year.
The crisis brewing in the Cavallino where seats are deployable in recent months. Luca Di Montezemolo bosses Stefano Domenicali have recently fees, paying the chronic lack of performance and GB 14 T failed, only saved by the rage of Alonso. Bet Vettel seems risky, very risky even for the reconstruction of the Scuderia would still require a long period of trial and error. The delay Mercedes is obvious. Raikkonen, whose average performance question is not yet assured of keeping his seat. Today Vettel leaves the second team of the plateau for the fourth if the constructors are followed. “Baby Schumi”, as he is still called, must dream of a parallel career to that of her idol. In early 1996, at age 27, Schumacher, crowned with two titles with Benetton, Ferrari also joined in reconstruction under the leadership of Jean Todt. It had taken five years to win another world crown before flying F1 until 2004, after all, Sebastien Vettel has him just 27 years …
