After appearing at Red Bull broadcaster Servus TV, to which team boss Christian Horner was also invited along with max Verstappen, many fans hoped that the old employer might give Vettel a second chance. Horner found that the timing of the Ferrari separation from Vettel was not optimal, but the Brit did not explicitly rule out a return to the Red Bull. It is obviously no obstacle that Max Verstappen already has an A driver in the team: “You can work very well with both,” said Horner.
In contrast to Horner, head of sports Helmut Marko tried to dismiss the rumor straight away: “We have no place for Vettel. We are occupied with Albon and also happy with him. Albon is half Thai and Red Bull is 51 percent Thai . “
Marko has suggestion for his good friend that fans doesn’t like: “If i were him, I would take a year off and look at the matter from the outside for a better overview, maybe he likes the life with the family so much that he throws out F1 completely. “

However, four-time champion is not yet clear about his future plans: “If you make the decision to close the door, you shouldn’t do it in such a way that you hope to open it again sometime. You have to do it yourself be ready to leave the closed door closed. “
