Formula One: Vettel wants to stay at Red Bull

LONDON: Double world champion Sebastian Vettel dismissed the idea that he is poised to join Ferrari, setting up a summer scramble among his rivals to claim the possible spare seat alongside Fernando Alonso. He banished all speculation, which has additionally heaped pressure on struggling Felipe Massa, and made clear that he is not interested in leaving the team that has backed him through his entire career.”I’ve been wearing a Red Bull helmet for almost my entire career,” said Vettel. “So, for me, it is difficult to imagine another kind of life if you are so used to it. I am very happy where I am right now and I don’t want to move on to anywhere else.”
