Report: Vettel rejects one-year Ferrari extension

Italian media report that Sebastian Vettel has turned down a one year contract extension with Ferrari.

La Gazzetta dello Sport have reported that Vettel has rejected a contract offer from Ferrari, the offer rumoured to have included a heavy pay cut.

The reports says that Vettel, who it is believed is seeking a three-year deal, called the offer a 'joke'.

In a recent media conference call, Vettel said that any deal would have to work for both himself and the team.

“Whatever the deal will be like, it will be whatever I and the team will be comfortable with," said Vettel. "So in terms of duration, I don’t know. Normally the contracts I’ve had in the past were all three-year deals. I know I’m one of the more experienced drivers in Formula 1 but I’m not the oldest and I don’t think there’s an age limit in this regard.”

La Gazzeta continued by suggesting that the Scuderia were eyeing up Daniel Ricciardo, Carlos Sainz and Antonio Giovinazzi as replacements should Vettel decide not to continue with the Italian manufacturer.
