Title: Vettel signs 3 year deal to 2020
Post by: ChrisCurtis on August 26, 2017, 12:39:26 PM

No doubt there will be get out clauses on both sides, but I’m still surprised Vettel has signed a three year extension.

That basically locks in the top teams now, I expect we’ll hear Bottas confirmed at Mercedes very soon.

Hard to see any other option, difficult to imagine Seb would give up a winning car to join Renault or Macca.  :D

I think it's Ferrari who've pushed for 3 years, they are aware Vettel's choices are of the Hobson sort, they've played hard ball and won. ;)

This also fits with signing Kimi as insurance ahead of Seb's deal
