Leo Turrini, talijanski novinar i Ferrarijev insajder tvrdi da je istina ono što Jordan priča o Vettelu i Mercedesu, te da je nakon odlaska Rosberga Lauda razgovarao sa Vettelom oko sastavljanja pred-ugovora za mogući prelazak u Mercedes u 2018 godini. To ne mora značiti da će Vettel otići iz Ferrarija, pogotovo ako se nastavi ovako jak Ferrari do kraja sezone. Cijeli tekst (google prijevod):
izvorSebastian Vettel , who finishes his contract with Ferrari at the end of this season, may have a pre-arrangement to register at Mercedes next year, according to Italian journalist close to Maranello team Leo Turrini.
While the four-time world champion is the leader of the world at the helm of the Italian car, Turrini adds to the claims of Eddie Jordan that he is in talks with Brackley . " Of course they're talking to Vettel ," Jordan said recently.
For his part, the Italian journalist is convinced that the pilot of Heppenheim will pilot next year for Mercedes, and so has reflected in his blog. "It is no secret that Mercedes, after the withdrawal of Rosberg, contacted Vettel."
"During the preseason tests in Barcelona, Niki Lauda told his friends confidentially that Vettel has a prior agreement with the Germans for next season ," Turrini said.
However, the great pace shown by the SF70-H could change Vettel's opinion, as he has managed to win in two races of four possible, with Pole Position included in the Russian Grand Prix.

Marchionne and Vettel's contract - izvor (Turrini)
As could be expected, having Ferrari started the season with both drivers out of contract, in yogurt Finnish and German style mozzarella, obviously is much talk of the cabin tenants Red edition in 2018.
I believe that this is so.
- It is no secret to anyone that immediately after the lightning farewell Rosberg Mercedes has contacted Seb Vettel.
- During the pre-season test in Barcelona, Niki Lauda confidentially trusted friends that the four-time world champion had a pre-agreement with the Stuttgart next season.
- Then the championship began, with surprising results (not for cloggaro Riccris, okay) that are visible to everyone.
- Speaking publicly about it at the Chinese Grand Prix, President Marchionne has stated verbatim: 'Pilots without a contract? And 'the least of our problems'.
- In this, one of the Cavallino number is absolutely sincere. In the sense that it is convinced of one thing: a competitive Ferrari they want to come and drive all. And maybe those who already are piloting want to keep doing it.
- I think Vettel is held hands free, after the disappointments of 2016. Add: understandably. An account is the romantic suggestions, else would expect a leap in the dark.
- This does not mean that Vettel has already decided. It 'an intelligent person, he realizes, and not just symbolically, the one thing that can only be denied by an anti (Ferrari) in permanent service ...
- That is, with Mercedes won the title both Hamilton and Rosberg. Maybe (aaarggghhhh!) As well as wins Bottas. But be champion with Ferrari is priceless. Moreover, if more than four decades we only four humans (Lauda, Scheckter, Schumacher, Raikkonen) were able, here, we understood each other.
- Marchionne is a tough negotiator. Ask the GM that he had to pay for not buying Fiat (!), To the lending banks by converting, to trade unionists from Landini down. The president has very clear ideas, I suppose, have also already decided, will not be take by the neck from anyone.
- After that and to avoid misunderstandings, I hope that Vettel will cap off at Maranello the dream of his childhood, so I hope soon renewals and until the end of 2020 including.
