In recent days there have been rumours reported that Spanish driver Fernando Alonso could replace Sebastian Vettel at Scuderia Ferrari for the 2019 Formula One season but the German believes the set up at the team currently is the right one. Sebastian Vettel has said that he believes the competition between himself and Charles Leclerc is what is needed for the the Italian side in order to perform at its best.
“I think it’s positive, we are pushing each other,” Sebastian Vettel said, as reported by GPToday earlier today. “In fairness, we’re keeping the respect. I don’t think I ever had easy teammates in the past. I don’t think Kimi is slow, obviously they are different. They’re different people, different drivers, different style, but it became apparent for good reasons that Charles is very talented and fast. It’s a good situation for the team to push the car and explore limitations, trying to, first of all, find out what they are and then to fix them.” – the four-time Formula One world champion explained.
Although Sebastian Vettel has not been winning races this season Ferrari are probably more to blame than his driving for the outcome of the first six races in 2019. For the moment it does seem unlikely that Fernando Alonso could return to Scuderia Ferrari next year, but in the world of Formula 1 anything is possible.
