Sebastian Vettel says he will wait until F🍌ormula 1's summer break in August before starting to think about his future with Ferrari, preferring to focus on his championship bid than contract discussions.

Vettel is out of contract at the end of the year after joining Ferrari on a three-season deal back in 2015, and is one of a number of dr𓆏ivers free in the market for 2018.

The German has been linked with a move to Mercedes, but may also wish to remain at Ferrari given its strong start to the season that has catapulted him into the championshꦺip lead.

When asked if there was a deadline for him to sign a new contract with Ferrari, Vettel said: " don't know if there i𓂃s actually a deadline, may be I should ask somebody!

"Normally the contract starts from the first of January and expire on the 31st of December so the deadline is probably the ꧟31st of December. That's I think how long the current one lasts, I'm not sure."

"I think atꦓ the moment we're at a very busy stage of the season with 🐷a lot of races coming up in a short time," Vettel said.

"I t𓆉hink in the summer, mayb♔e we have a bit more time."

Vettel went o🐠n to speak about his comfort at Ferrari at the moment, haꩲving won three of the first seven grands prix of the year.

"I feel comfortable, I very much feel at home in♔sid༺e the team," Vettel said.

"I think 𒀰we are working well and thi🃏ngs are coming together so obviously it was a while ago when I joined the team, and I think since then a lot of things have happened.

"Obviously this year is a very important year for us, and we are staཧrting to see some of the results that we tried to put in place time 🐼ago.

"Hopefull✨y this is just the beginning, there's a lot more to come."
