Special clause in contract Pérez gives Vettel a hurry

Is he retiring? Maybe he'll go on for a few more years? Maybe in another race class? These are several questions about the future of Sebastian Vettel that have been circulating lately. Unfortunately, none of these questions has been answered yet. But according to the German Auto Bild this will soon change.

Auto Bild reports that Racing Point has set a decision deadline of 31 July for Vettel. This has everything to do with the fact that the special clause in Sergio Pérez's contract expires on 31 July. 

The contract of Pérez

Originally, Sergio Pérez' contract does not expire until the end of the season in 2022. However, before 31 July 2020, Racing Point has the possibility to buy off the contract of Pérez for a large sum of money through a special clause. In order to free up a seat for another driver. "A ruling before July the 31th should be of great importance to Vettel," says author Bianca Garloff.
