'Red Bull secure Vettel until end of 2014' | Planet F1 | Formula One News
Vettel, who won the Drivers' Championship with Red Bull last season, was contracted to the team until the end of this season with an option for 2012.
Red Bull, though, wanted him until the end of 2014, with the team reportedly offering the German a deal worth in excess of EUR 12 million per year.
"We are in the talking phase, nothing has been signed. That will take some time," Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko told the Bild.
However, hours later, Marko confirmed the deal had been signed.
He told Autosport that it "was in mutual agreement that we extended Sebastian's contract to 2014.
"Both sides wanted to continue the partnership, so it was no big issue."
Red Bull have confirmed the deal in a press release that simply states that the team has "extended its agreement with Sebastian Vettel - meaning the current World Champion will remain with Red Bull Racing until the end of 2014."

There is little value there.
But given the points for qualifying, you MUST have him on your team.
4-man teams will rule the day this year.
