McLaren never considered Vettel as 2021 option

Four-time World Champion Sebastian Vettel was never under consideration for a 2021 Formula 1 seat at McLaren, the team’s CEO Zak Brown has revealed. Ferrari confirmed on Tuesday that Vettel will leave the team after 2020 and 48 hours later it announced Carlos Sainz Jr. as his replacement. McLaren had already tried to poach Daniel Ricciardo mid-2018, prior to the Australian committing to a two-year Renault deal, and on Thursday announced him as Sainz Jr.’s successor.
