The 2018 season will mark the fourth consecutive season for Ferrari to keep the same lineup intact. The stability has proved to pay dividends as Vettel currently sits as the championship leader by 14 points over rival Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton.
“Ferrari announces that Scuderia Ferrari has extended its technical and racing agreement with driver Sebastian Vettel for the 2018, 2019 and 2020 racing seasons of the Formula One World Championship,” said Ferrari via a press release.
