F1:Sebastian Vettel saddened by imminent Red Bull-Renault divorce

Sebastian Vettel admits it is "sad" that the Red Bull-Renault partnership that propelled him to four world titles is poised for divorce.

Less than two years after Vettel, then a Red Bull driver, breezed to a fourth consecutive title - winning the season's final nine rounds - the once all-conquering team-engine combination are expected to part company at the end of 2015 in the wake of a tension-filled 18 months.

Renault, who no longer plan to be just an F1 engine supplier, are most likely to revive a works team by buying Lotus, while Red Bull are set to turn Ferrari for a supply of engines after being rebuffed by Mercedes.
