Horner confirms Vettel en route to Ferrari

Red Bull team boss Christian Horner has confirmed that Sebastian Vettel is to join Ferrari next season.

Horner, who says Vettel told him of his plans on Friday night, was quick to pay tribute to the German, who has claimed the past four Drivers' titles with the team and played a key role in four straight Constructors' crowns.

"He informed us last night. He obviously had his reasoning behind that," Horner told reporters at Suzuka.

"I don't think he's taken the decision lightly. He was very emotional. If it's his desire to be somewhere else it's not right to stand in his path. We've had some great times. He'll always be a great part of what we've achieved."

"He'll be a Ferrari driver, absolutely," added Horner, when pushed over where Vettel will be driving in 2015.

"There's the lure of Ferrari. A window has opened and he decided that the time is right. It's his choice. He's been around long enough to know his own mind. He's his own man and he makes his own decisions – we respect that."

Fernando Alonso is expected to depart Ferrari at the end of the season in favour of a return to McLaren.
