Should Sebastian Vettel not be able to find a seat for 2021 in Formula 1, the four-time world champion can also go to the WEC. Millionaire James Glickenhaus has told Dyler.com that he is very interested in Vettel's services.

Starting next season, the Glickenhaus team will participate together with Toyota and ByKolles in the new hypercar class (replacement of the LMP1) in the WEC. Glickenhaus appears with two cars at the start and there is still a spot left for Vettel.

Interest in Vettel

The American businessman does have some understanding of racing at the highest level and claims that Ferrari has not treated its drivers well in the past. "I don't know anything about the internal workings of Ferrari, but as an outsider I know they have a long history of treating drivers badly. This even goes back to the days when Enzo (Ferrari) was alive".

James Glickenhaus continues his story. "But back to Sebastian; Ferrari seems to continue that tradition, and I don't think this is a good thing. And if Sebastian ever wants to drive in Le Mans, we have a cockpit for him! I would be very happy to have him there". But Glickenhaus insists that he can't pay as much as Ferrari.
