Horner: Vettel stays with us!

12 May 2009

Sebastian Vettel is not for sale, according to Red Bull team principal Christian Horner. The 21-year-old scored his second Formula One win in China this season and is currently third in the drivers' standings; having been linked to both McLaren and Ferrari last month, however, his boss is keen to retain the German.

"Sebastian is very happy driving for this team and we are very happy to have him," Horner said in an interview with the official F1 website. "He has been a member of the Red Bull family for a long, long time and Red Bull Racing has provided him with a very good car this year. I think that Mr. (Dietrich) Mateschitz (Red Bull president) has also mentioned that Sebastian is certainly not for sale.

"I'm obviously not disclosing the details of his contract but I can't imagine anywhere else that Sebastian would rather be at the moment. For next year I don't see any intention of him going anywhere else - he is a fixture within the team."
