'It's Madness For Ferrari To Have Allowed Vettel To Leave' - Fellow Formula One Driver

'It's Madness For Ferrari To Have Allowed Vettel To Leave' -

 

In the Formula One (F1), British racing driver, Jenson Button, has branded Ferrari allowing Sebastian Vettel to leave 'madness'.

Recall AllNews had reported that Scuderia Ferrari and German racing driver Vettel are parting ways at the end of 2020.

The development brings a 5-year romance to an end and casts a massive doubt over Vettel’s future.

Many followers of Formula 1 were stunned when the news was made official last week Tuesday.

"If he was pushed, for me it's madness," Button told Sky Sports F1.

"[He's] a four-time world champion. I think he showed his speed last year.

"He had a tough moment in the season when Charles [Leclerc] was performing really well and I think that hurt him a little bit mentally.

"But he came back really strong, and he's just somebody you would definitely choose to put in your car if you had an F1 team.

"There must be more to it. I don't know if Ferrari are going down the route of not wanting two number one drivers or what but it's a really strange choice for me and I'm still shocked by the decision of Sebastian not being in a red car."

Furthermore, Button suggested the timing of the decision was odd: "We'll have to see how it plays out, but it's just a weird time at the moment. We've not seen an F1 car in months and to make driver choices at a point when drivers haven't been driving is really unusual," he said.

"Normally it's mid-season and you see how the guys are performing in that year. Vettel could have been four, five wins in at this point in time and then I'm sure the decision would have been very different."
