adminBUDAPEST. — Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen will head off to enjoy Formula One’s European summer break knowing their Ferrari futures have been virtually rubber-stamped following Sunday’s Hungarian Grand Prix one-two.
Championship leader Vettel, already a four-time world titlist, increased his advantage over three-time champion Lewis Hamilton to 14 points, partly courtesy of the Briton’s decision to hand a podium finish to his Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas in Hungary.
The Ferrari duo’s easy relationship and shared sense of pragmatism has made them a good fit for the improved Italian outfit this year — a quality not missed at the weekend by Ferrari president Sergio Marchionne.
Answering questions from reporters Marchionne hinted that both were likely to stay, with an announcement expected at the Italian Grand Prix at Monza in early September. — AFP.
