From what Martin Brundle has said,Cristian Horner was not that happy that Vettel left it till this late in the season to tell Red Bull of his move. And also the deal with Ferrari is worth $75 million a season. Even though he has been involved with Red bull since he was 12 years old,that sort of money per year is very hard to turn down. I personally don't like Vettel,but in saying that i have enormous respect for his talent. He is in a very elite class of drivers,in regards to his four world championships. When you brake it down it is very impressive,
Nelson Piquet-3 titles
Jackie Stewart-3 titles
Niki Lauda-3 titles
Jack Brabham-3 titles
Alain Prost-4 titles
Sebastian Vettel-4 titles, Some very impressive drivers in that list. Also the first driver to break Nigel Mansell's record for most pole positions in a season. He is also fourth on the list for most overall F1 wins behind,Schumacher,Prost,Senna, Impressive names in that list.
And what makes his titles special is the drivers he was up against when he won all his world titles,the F1 grid was packed with talent. Alonso,Hamilton,Button,Rakkonen, All world champions. In contrast Schumacher had paper thin resistance for many years,even in his own words the ONLY driver he feared was Mika Hakkinen. So like i said at the start of this post i don't like him,to me him comes across as arrogant and reacts very poorly to situations when they don't go his way. Personally i have not seen such toxic team relationships since the Prost/Senna days. He is about himself more than the team. But,his record has to be respected.
