Sebastian Vettel has played down rumours that Red Bull is pushing to secure his services for the long term.<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old is already under contract to the end of next season, amid reports the Austrian squad now wants him to re-commit through 2015.<\/p>\n
His teammate Mark Webber, 33, has signed a contract extension keeping him at Red Bull Racing in 2011, and Vettel on Thursday denied that the move was some sort of reaction to their recent collision in Turkey.<\/p>\n
“I’ve known this piece of information a little longer than the public,” he said.<\/p>\n
“In regards to the (Vettel) rumours, I can say that we have not spoken as of yet about this topic, as 2015 is quite some time into the future,” added the German.<\/p>\n
In light of their Istanbul Park crash and rumours they are now sharing a palpably tense relationship, it is an interesting side-note that on Sunday, Germany plays Australia in the FIFA World Cup.<\/p>\n
“Germany will clearly win the match as Australia is the weakest team in our group, so winning should be imperative, even though Mark has a different opinion on that,” smiled Vettel.<\/p>\n
“But as we know, the both of us have lately had some different opinions on things anyway.”<\/p>\n
