Sebastian Vettel says he is expecting confirmation about his future with Aston Martin to come in the very near future.

The German joined the British team at the end of 2020 after Ferrari decided to replace him with Carlos Sainz going forward.

He signed an initial one-year deal with the team, with an option included to extend it to the end of the 2022 campaign.

That option hasn’t been activated as of yet, and team principal Otmar Szafnauer recently revealed that the deadline for doing so is now “not far off”.

Given that and the fact that the team reportedly offered Fernando Alonso the chance to replace his long-term rival, Vettel’s future has started to look a little less certain.
