‘Sebastian Vettel’s future depends solely on his personal motivation’ – Mika Hakkinen. Hakkinen talks about Sebastian Vettel's F1 future.

Finnish former racing driver and two-time Formula 1 world champion Mika Hakkinen is sure that quadruple world champion Sebastian Vettel’s Formula 1 career can carry on beyond 2020.

It is reported that Scuderia Ferrari has offered the German a new two-year deal, but only if he accepts a major pay-cut: “I think Sebastian’s future depends solely on his personal motivation,” two-time title winner Hakkinen told t-online. “At his age, he can go on for many years. So if he wants to continue after this season, he would be a great addition for any team.”

It is believed that if Sebastian Vettel, 32, does leave Scuderia Ferrari, the team most likely to snap him up is McLaren: “If he wants to look long-term, he has to leave Ferrari,” former F1 driver Ralf Schumacher told Kolner Express – “But he if he wants to win races next year, he has almost no alternative. Then he would have to accept less money.”- Ralf Schumacher explained, as reported by the German media.
