Experts now agree on only one thing in any case: Sebastian Vettel he will only pursue a career in Formula 1 if anyone can offer him winning car for the 2021 season. His good acquaintance Toto Wolff does not show excessive interest in him when he talks about "Stays true to his line" and says it is "Loyalty in F1 is extremely important".
Before we can even imagine Mercedes' "Dream Team" s Sebastian Vettl in Lewis Hamilton, it should first be clarified whether the group Daimler he even wants to stay in Formula 1 with his factory team and or Toto wolff remains the team leader. Both are far from certain today in the midst of the coronavirus crisis.
All David Coulthard sees an alternative that might interest Vettl, even outside the Mercedes team. “Maybe I could go to Aston Martin? There, they could give him shares and he could start a new chapter in his career. This could be an option if you make a little effort to think about implementing the established frameworks, " is in an interview for podcast 'F1 Nation' said the former Formula 1 driver.
"Lawrence Stroll," speculates Coulthard, “He has big plans for the future of Aston Martin. Vettel could be an important member of such a team, especially with his experience and all the knowledge he has gained in Red Bullin Ferrari. "
Stroll in Wolff are shareholders of a British sports car manufacturer Aston Martin, who will officially enter Formula 1 with the 2021 season by renaming the team Racing Point. This is the first variant. Another option could be for both friends to take over as well Mercedes factory team, if Daimler really leaves F1.
He finds this possibility very realistic above all Ralf Schumacher, who believes Stroll and Wolff can buy the current factory team in the case Mercedes' departure from F1 »We have been hearing rumors about the possible takeover of the team in the event of Mercedes' departure for months, " explains the younger Schumacher.
Coulthard is cautious about these rumors, but admits that virtually anything is possible in F1: “If someone had told me during my career that Bernie Ecclestone had bought a Ferrari and set himself up as the first racer, I would have thought it all really unlikely, but it’s not entirely out of the question that something like this would really happen. There is nothing one hundred percent in this business! ”
Schumacher considers that Mercedes and Wolff are the only options for Vettl, notwithstanding the fact that he would get Lewis Hamilton as a teammate: “At least I would have the same car. And the best conditions that are currently possible, because, to be honest, Mercedes will be the first favorite next season as well. "
