Vettel not interested in getting a manager

Sebastian Vettel never had a manager and has no plans to get one a British newspaper reported on Tuesday. The 22-year-old German driver has always handled his own career.

"People say 'oh, you need a manager to get you into adverts or to make you more money'. But I'm fine. I want to make my own decisions," he said. Vettel says contract negotiations are not always easy, but he has never had a problem despite his age.

"Sometimes it's funny because, in a negotiation, you can sit at a table with some very experienced people in their sixties. But you soon forget about your age and you do your best," he said.

He has never regretted signing a manager to help him out. "The problem with Formula One and football is that so much money is involved. Formula One is big business and, unfortunately, everyone is too caught up in his own interests and what ends up in his own pocket," he said.

"For some people it is just business. And that's a big problem. You can't always say what you'd like to say. But the important thing for me is the racing and to stay the same person I've always been," he explained.
