World champion Sebastian Vettel<\/a> has agreed to extend his contract with the Red Bull<\/a> Formula 1<\/a> team. It means the 25-year-old German will stay at the team until the end of 2015.<\/p>\n

Vettel has been with Red Bull since 2009, claiming 29 victories, 39 pole positions, and winning three successive world titles.<\/p>\n

In March 2011, he agreed a new three-year deal up to and including 2014, with the latest extension adding one more year.<\/p>\n

So far this season, he has won three races \u2013 in Malaysia, Bahrain and last weekend in Canada \u2013 and leads the Formula 1 Drivers\u2019 Championship by 36 points from nearest rival Fernando Alonso<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last week Vettel said he might quit the sport in five years\u2019 time but made it clear he was not talking with any specific timetable in mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cPerhaps I will no longer be driving in five years\u2019 time because I no longer have the urge to,\u201d he told German newspaper Welt Am Sonntag.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year he was linked with a move to Ferrari but the Italian team\u2019s Ferrari president Luca Di Montezemolo said in February Vettel would not be joining them so long as Alonso was there. \u2013 BBC Sport<\/a><\/p>\n
