Vettel signs 3 year deal to 2020

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. 

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
