Assessing Rumours Linking Sebastian Vettel Joining Ferrari from Red Bull

Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari.

It's an alliance that seems so wrong, but feels so right.

Vettel has been the thorn in the red team's side since his rise to prominence in 2010. In two of his four World Championship-winning campaigns thus far, he has snatched the title from Ferrari's grasp at the very last race of the season.

Vettel is a source of irritation for all those who swear by the Prancing Horse.

Every single wave of his celebratory index finger acts as a reminder to Ferrari of what they once were in the spell of Michael Schumacher's dominance—and what they should have become under the stewardship of Fernando Alonso.



Yet the romance of the most successful driver of his generation joining Formula One's most iconic establishment is—despite Vettel being Ferrari's only true barrier to success in recent years—difficult to ignore.

That notion has led to a flurry of media reports linking Vettel with a move to Maranello, Italy, in previous seasons, with Andrew Benson of BBC Sport claiming in October 2012 that an agreement was in place for the German to join Ferrari for 2014—which clearly has been proven wide off the mark.

With that window of opportunity now firmly shut, the attention has now turned to the beginning of the 2016 season, when Vettel's current contract with Red Bull expires.

Even Mark Webber, Vettel's teammate between 2009 and 2013, has been quoted by Sky Sports as suggesting that Ferrari will take advantage of the German's status as a free agent to signal the start of a fresh, new era in 2016.

So what are the chances of Vettel wearing red overalls in the near future?

Well, if it is to happen, it is entirely plausible that a deal might already be in place. Ferrari, after all, have made a habit of negotiating high-profile contracts well in advance of their start date.
