Red Bull teammates Webber and Vettel may move to Ferrari? | Red Bull teammates Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel are contemplating
moving to Italian Formula One camp Ferrari, it has emerged. A fresh wave of speculation
has arisen, which claims that Vettel has signed a pre-contract agreement with
Ferrari. Speculation is rife also that reigning World Champion Vettel has committed
to leaving Red Bull for Ferrari if the Italian team can maintain competiveness.
"Insiders are adamant that the German has signed an option with Ferrari for 2014,
subject to competitive form from the Prancing Horse stable for the rest of 2012,"
Fox Sports quoted UK paper The Independent, as reporting. The claims suggest that
any such agreement would result in Webber also leaving Red Bull for Ferrari, albeit
a year in advance and for a single season. "It is not known whether the Vettel
option is binding on either side, but if there is a one-year Ferrari vacancy for
2013, it strengthens the case for Webber being the man to fill it," the paper
declared. The report cited that Fernando Alonso's Ferrari contract running until
2016, there would be a Ferrari vacancy for only one year, should it choose to
replace Felipe Massa. The speculation could also have a dramatic bearing on the
future of Lewis Hamilton, whose current contract with McLaren expires at the end
of this season. Although it is still expected that Hamilton will stay with the
team that he has driven for throughout his motor-racing career, the paper noted
that, were Webber to join Alonso at Ferrari, it would "open the way for Hamilton
to jump into the Adrian Newey-designed car that he is said to crave."
