[@tgruener] McLaren would maintain endured with Sainz if Vettel had signed a recent Ferrari contract. They negotiated with Ricciardo gleaming that also Vettel would possibly per chance per chance well change into readily accessible. Needless to claim Ricciardo would possibly per chance per chance well now not signal the McLaren contract earlier than Sainz confirmed his Ferrari deal turned into done.

Andreas Seidl about Vettel:

*”*We did no longer recall that Sebastian would be readily accessible. Needless to claim I had one more with Sebastian, because I know and like him, maintain also talked to him infrequently in the closing few day, no longer only about Formula 1.”

Ethical leaving this right here…do now not know where Tobi has his info from as he’s most regularly truthful aout Things. He would possibly per chance per chance well honest accurate maintain misinterpreted something right here.

They were negotiating with Ricciardo gleaming that Sainz is talking with Ferrari…and Leclerc already had a contract.

Per chance he intended that he did now not mediate Vettel would salvage a McLaren seat.

In the event that they knew Sainz would possibly per chance per chance well be half of Ferrari then they knew that Seb would possibly per chance per chance well trip away.

They did now not know if Vettel would be attracted to McLaren, on the opposite hand it also appears that they did now not inquire of.

Andreas Seidl: “Attributable to this truth, the subject Sebastian Vettel has never been a subject for us, we maintain now never truly negotiated or offered him a contract because it turned into partly wrongly reported. For us the direction turned into repeatedly certain: Carlos or Daniel.”

I mediate it turned into rather certain. In any other case who place you have confidence you studied Carlos will substitute when Charles already had a contract.

From the an identical offer: https://cell.twitter.com/Vetteleclerc/standing/1261315585922777090

I mediate at this level we know VET is per chance to retire altogether. We’re honest accurate grasping on some closing hope or justification for us to transit into that acceptance stage.

Argh I’m going to trip over him…(talking myself into accepting the information.)

Per chance Brundle received his info cross?

And why would either Merc or RP make use of Vettel?…especially Mercedes. They maintain got gracious crew team spirit with Ham being the no.1 and Bottas no.2. Why would Toto ruin that team spirit and trip for one other ability Ham-Ros order? Doesn’t produce any sense to me.

Dieter Rencken:

“Consistent with sources, Vettel knocked on doors at each and each Red Bull and McLaren. The earlier listened carefully, then made certain its dedication is to youthful (more affordable) expertise, as Verstappen siphons off most of its funds and drivers equivalent to Alexander Albon charges a fifth of Vettel’s minimal fee. It appears that, McLaren did no longer even starting up the door for negotiations, having decided on Ricciardo after Sainz requested a launch.“

I love it.

On the a great deal of thread some were like “McLaren potentially signed Ricciardo, did now not know Vettel turned into readily accessible.”

Then Tobi goes: “nah”

Andreas Seidl about Vettel: “We did no longer recall that Sebastian would be readily accessible. Needless to claim I had one more with Sebastian, because I know and like him, maintain also talked to him infrequently in the closing few day, no longer only about Formula 1.”
