Formula one defending world champion Sebastian Vettel has insisted that he is staying put at Red Bull for next season in light of recent reports linking him to a possible move to Ferrari.
Vettel said that he has already said on numerous occasions that he has got a contract with Red Bull for next year and he is working on the principle that he would still be driving for them.
Vettel, who has won the Formula One world championship back-to-back for the past four seasons, has struggled to make an impact this year, failing to win once as his rookie teammate Daniel Ricciardo has excelled with three victories, Sport24 reported.
The German said that he has still got a lot to achieve with this team and he wants to do everything to ensure that Red Bull makes a comeback.
Last week Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone stoked the flames of the Vettel-Ferrari rumour mill by suggesting that Vettel would be the perfect man for Ferrari, if he wanted to leave.
Despite Vettel finding himself in the unaccustomed role of playing second fiddle to Australian Ricciardo he is taking his lack of success in good heart. He said that his teammate has done a very, very good job and has made life difficult for him.
But, the defending champion added that it's good for the team's morale. He said that Ricciardo's results have proved that their car isn't as bad as all that.
Vettel finished runner-up to championship leader Lewis Hamilton in Singapore on Sunday for his best placing of 2014, the report added.
