With the departure of Sebastian Vettel at the end of this year, the first reactions start to flow in. Helmut Marko has worked with Vettel for a long time during the time that the German champion for Red Bull Racing came out. He states that there is now "unfortunately" no place for the German at his former employer.

Sportsmanship

"Sebastian wants to break things in peace now," says Marko at Autobild, "Only if he gets an offer that makes sporting sense will he continue. Unfortunately, at Red Bull we are equipped. With Max Verstappen we have a potential world champion in the team and with Alexander Albon a driver from our junior team, who has developed well and will do even better".

So at Red Bull Racing Vettel doesn't have to knock, but a good alternative option could be McLaren. However, at the moment it is unclear what Vettel is going to do, as he hasn't revealed any of his future plans yet. Is there a future for the German in Formula 1 or will he retire after this year? Time will tell.
