Vettel: No contract for 2021 but I expect to continue

Earlier in the year, some suggested the Ferrari driver could quit the sport after having his number one status at Maranello challenged by Charles Leclerc this season.

When asked by Sky Deutschland if he wants to remain in F1 beyond 2020, Vettel replied, "At the moment I don't know, because I have no contract for 2021 but I expect that I will continue after next year."

However, the 32-year-old admitted that he still sees things wrong with Formula 1, even if the regulations are changing significantly for 2021, "I'm not a big fan of that because I think we should do without things like DRS."

"Formula 1 should be regulated so that you do not have to rely on artificial tools," argued Vettel a 53-time Grand Prix winner.

Fellow F1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton, who also wants to keep racing in 2021, predicted in Brazil that the top drivers will all be looking at their options.

Another of those top drivers Hamilton is referring to is of course Max Verstappen, who has been linked with a move to Mercedes after, apparently, being snubbed by Ferrari for the short term at least.

The Red Bull driver told Formule1, "I'm quite relaxed about it at the moment. First, we will have to look at how things are at the start of the new season, but I think this applies to everyone, not just me."
