Niki Lauda: Vettel long-term contract with Red Bull

Yesterday we quoted the co-owner of the concern Red Bull Dietrich Mateschitz, who assured that Sebastian Vettel will remain in the team, at least until the end of 2014. These words were confirmed by Niki Lauda in an interview with Italian TV station Griglia di Partenza.

Niki Lauda: "I know that Sebastian's signed long-term contract with Red Bull. For this reason, we did not attempt to negotiate with him about the transition in Mercedes.

Someday Sebastian will play in the other team. Skiers every year change skis, and racer too, sooner or later goes to another team. During his career in Formula 1 and I were driving three or four different machines, and I always managed to win."
