F1: Vettel To Leave Red Bull and Take Alonso's Seat at Ferrari

What started as a rumour a while back is now come out into the open. Yes, Sebastien Vettel is leaving Red Bull, a team which he has been associated with for a very long time. He has taken up an offer from Ferrari and will replace Fernando Alonso in the 2015 season.

The super Typhoon at Suzuka threatened to end the race but the press release which said all brought in a bigger wave of gasp. Red Bull said that "We're pleased to announce that Daniel (Ricciardo) will be joined in the team for 2015 by another rising star from the junior programme, Daniil Kvyat"

Vettel is obviously heading to Ferrari to replace the disgruntled Spaniard Alonso, whose impending move to McLaren-Honda is also now obvious. Vettel, who has is the reigning F1 World Champion, has been struggling throughout this season and has not been happy with the car he has been driving. The move will see Alonso move out and the quadruple World Champion take his seat.

This is a clear indication of things to come and the Spaniards move to McLaren-Honda is now certain. With Russian Kvyat stepping up at Red Bull's senior team, it is expected Toro Rosso will fill the gap with Carlos Sainz jr in 2015.
