Vettel back to work next week after title party
Global Motorsport Media
A party is provisionally planned but Sebastian Vettel will quickly get back to work if he wraps up the title later on Sunday.
That is the admission of Red Bull's Dr Helmut Marko, who previously denied reports that the team was secretly working on a championship party to take place on Sunday night at the five-star Swishotel tower.
"I suppose that our marketing people have something prepared," Marko told Austria's Kleine Zeitung newspaper, even though it is likely the title race will move on to Suzuka in two weeks.
At any rate, after Singapore, 24-year-old Vettel will be straight back to work.
Sebastian wants to win every single race
"On Wednesday he's in the simulator in England and he has a sponsorship commitment as well. His schedule is not going to change," said Marko.
"Sebastian wants to win every single race, so he does a day in the simulator which is not fun and in fact quite exhausting. If he was only thinking about the title then he wouldn't do it," he added.
