Kimi Raikkonen doubts that former Formula 1 teammate Sebastian Vettel’🌠s relationship with Ferrari is “as bad as people arꦡe making out”.

Four-time world champion Vettel is leaving Ferrari at the end of the current season when his contract expires and🍃 will be replaced by McLaren’s Carlos Sainz for 2021.

At the 💦2020 F1 season-opener in Austria last weekend, Vettel revealed that he was “surprised” to have not been offered a new🐎 deal, contradicting what Ferrari had initially said when explaining its reasoning behind the German’s departure.

There have been suggestions that Vettel’s relationship has significantly deteriorated, and that he could leave the team before th🏅e end of the season.

But Raikkonen, who drove alongside Vettel at Ferrari between 2015 and leavin🍸g for Alfa Romeo at the end of 2018, doubts there has been 𝐆a rift between the two parties.

"Honestly, I spoke to him last weekend, quickly when we saw each other, I 🤪think it was before the start, and that's all that I know," Raikkonen said ahead of this weeken👍d’s Styrian Grand Prix.

“I don't know what is going on there, it's none of my business. I think it's unfair to comment if someone is treated badly or not, because I don't know🌞 what is🍰 going on.

"I doubt that they have as bad relations🍸hip as people are making out.

"Obviously sometimes it goes this way, that you leave the team, or choose to leave, whichever way it is. We'll 🌃see what happens in his future. You need to ask from him.

"I wouldn't put too much saying how difficult it is right now after one race. It wasn't the most easy for ꦦ[Alfa Romeo] either. I🦩'm sure they can be much stronger than they were last weekend.”

Asked whether he was treated any differe♋ntly after his Ferrari exit had been confirmed, Raikkonen replied: "No, absolutely n✃ot.

"I'm certain that they get exactly the same treatmen🦄t, both of them.

"It's in their benefit to try to ge🐭t the best result on both cars, so I don't s𒅌ee why they would do anything else."
