Even before the circus arrived in Austria there was speculation that knowing he was leaving Ferrari at season end, Sebastian Vettel might opt to look after his own interests moving forward rather than Ferrari's.

Consequently, when he contradicted Mattia Binotto's claim today that he and Ferrari had failed to reach an agreement on a new contract, insisting that he hadn't even been offered a new contract, the speculation intensifies.

The German then laid things on the line, explaining that should he be instructed to yield to his teammate, he might not necessarily play ball.

"Should the situation arise and make sense I think you'd expect both drivers to help each other out," he said. "I don't think that has anything to do with the fact that my contract expires and I'm going to be leaving the team.

"But at the same time you're racing for yourself," he added, "you know, not trying to make Charles' life easier on track in terms of waving him by.

"We have been fighting each other in the past and we will continue to do so," he added.

"Racing is what fans come to see. No one cares about manufacturers' points but manufacturers. Like Red Bull, for example; what do they manufacutre besides race cars? --and I, for one, would love to see Max and Albon spank Mercedes Benz and Lewis. Next year there probably won't be any silver arrows and won't THAT be fun with neither Lewis nor Seb with a ride! Renault & Mclaren are what I'll be watching tomorrow and sunday: Sergio has a quick machine and will be a "wild card" both in Qualifying and the race & Danny Ricciardo will be driving a very WIDE machine and may well even end his and Max's race. In a word, Max should be VERY careful with Danny. They say he's "matured." We'll see. Looking forward to the week end!!"
