Sebastian Vettel has committed his future to Red Bull Racing by signing a contract extension that will tie him to the team until the end of 2011.
Vettel has become a hot commodity since winning the 2008 Italian Grand Prix while racing for Toro Rosso.
From there he moved to the group’s senior team, Red Bull Racing, winning two grands prix so far this season to move into third place in the Drivers’ Championship. SkySports
He will again partner Mark Webber at Red Bull next year after the Australian extended his contract last month.
Vettel claimed Red Bull’s first F1 victory this year in China, and added a second win at the British Grand Prix.
“He’s been a member of the Red Bull junior team since the age of 12 and basically we’ve exercised some options that were available to us that secures his longer-term future,” said Red Bull team boss Christian Horner.
“It’s great to get that out of the way so early in the year. I think we’ve got one of the stronger driver pairings in Formula 1 We’ve got a great blend of youth and experience. I think there was a bit of interest [in Sebastian from other teams].” BBC Sport
