Vettel has offers from McLaren and Renault, says Italian journalist

One of the most controversial moments of 2020 so far, without even having F1 cars on the track, is the future of Sebastian Vettel, who could trigger a series of other changes to the 2021 grid.
You saw on Motorsport.com that the German may have his days on the team due to the contract time offered by Ferrari with the one desired by Vettel, and that Carlos Sainz Jr., currently at McLaren, and Daniel Ricciardo, from Renault, are the two main names that can accompany Charles Leclerc in the team next year. In addition to Antonio Giovinazzi, who runs outside.
But, as in a puzzle, Vettel would have two other seats available if he were to leave Ferrari. This is what guarantees the journalist of Sky Sports in Italy, Leo Turrini.
"I know that Vettel has a contract offer from Renault and McLaren, but I don't know the size of his interest," said Turrini. “We will have to see what the answer will be. If he doesn't accept it, I think they'll go after Carlos Sainz. ”
According to the journalist, there is also the conflict of dates when each one - pilot and team - would like to work. Ferrari wants the German to decide his life next month.
“Ferrari offered a one-year contract renewal, but they asked me to respond before the end of June, before the start of the championship. But his indecision (in accepting the contract) is due to the fact that he does not know if there will be impartiality in the treatment of drivers, since it is necessary to consider that Charles Leclerc already has a contract until 2024. ”
