The unrest at Ferrari isn't going to end anytime soon. Sebastian Vettel may have collected points during the Spanish Grand Prix, but that doesn't improve the atmosphere within the team. In the meantime, Vettel is looking for a new team.

Vettel will reportedly announce that he will drive for Aston Martin in 2021 prior to the Belgian Grand Prix. The German has already been spotted in the paddock with Lawrence Stroll and sat in a road car last weekend with team boss Otmar Szafnauer. It all fuels the rumors of his switch.

"At the moment there is nothing new and that could take a while. However, you don't have to be a genius or a rumor expert to know that there aren't many seats left," the four-time world champion told Sky Germany. Mercedes and Red Bull Racing also seemed like a good option for Vettel at first, but the doors now seem clearly closed.

"What is most important to me is that I am sure that I will receive a good package. I want a good car, with which I can participate in the front. In addition, the team must strive to progress further and of course I must also be able to enjoy it," concludes Vettel, who also finished behind the two Racing Point cars in Spain.
