Sebastian Vettel's fans are not too happy with Aston Martin's recent claims that the team wants to hold on to the German for a long time. Vettel has struggled with an underperforming car all season and despite a strong upgrade in Barcelona, the car has regressed in the last few races.Meanwhile, Vettel has maintained that his contract extension with Aston Martin depends entirely on how the car performs and he will more or less make the decision during the upcoming summer break.His fans, though, are not too happy with the prospect of the four-time world champion sticking around at Aston Martin. Here are some of the interesting reactions to Aston Martin wanting to hold on to Sebastian Vettel for the long haul:“Are you guys actually realising, that Sebastian couldn’t stay with you on this terms? What happened to the upgrade? Mike Krack, could you please explain to us devoted Seb supporters what’s going on? You’re killing his ambitions and passion for F1!

We are talking. We have a very, very good relationship, and it is not that we have to set each other deadlines. Obviously at one point, if we drag that too long, we will also be running into trouble, and he’s aware of that. But they are very trustworthy discussions that we are having. From that point of view, it’s all good.”Sebastian Vettel has faced a Q1 elimination for 3 races in a row and it appears that the German is a bit flustered by the lack of performance from the car. It will be interesting to see if he is willing to sign an extension with the team in the coming future.
