Lauda touts vettel move

Formula One legend Niki Lauda expects current world champion Sebastian Vettel to join Ferrari next season after Saturday's announcement at the Japanese Grand Prix that Vettel will quit Red Bull at the end of the current campaign.

"My logic tells me that Sebastian will now go to Ferrari. Why? Because Fernando Alonso has fallen out of favor there," said Lauda, who was world champion in 1975, 1977 and 1985.

"There is new management (at Ferrari), they need some new motivation in the team and, of course, Sebastian is the world champion, German, and in the same style as (Michael) Schumacher.
