Four-time Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel said on Thursday he would say yes to Red Bull if they were to offer him a seat for next season.

“They are still, I think, a contender — and it’s a car you can win races in, so for sure that would be interesting.”

The German's options have narrowed since last Sunday's Austrian season-opener, with Renault closing a door on Wednesday by announcing the return of double world championVerstappen, a multiple race winner who has a long-term contract with Red Bull, said he saw no reason for his team to change their line-up.

“I was just trying to be polite and nice by saying I could imagine it,” the Dutchman said of being asked on a Red Bull television show with Vettel this week whether he would welcome the German alongside. “But I think at the moment the team is very happy with both of us. I am also really happy with Alex as a teammate. He's a very nice guy in the team, which is good for everyone ... We both give good feedback to the team — and he's a fast guy.

“So I don't think there's any reason to change and I think [team boss] Christian [Horner] and [Red Bull motorsport consultant] Helmut [Marko] can back that up.”
