Oppenhoff & Partner advises Sebastian Vettel on new contract with Red Bull

The 23-year-old Formula One world champion recently prematurely extended his contract with the racing team of the Austrian billionaire Dietrich Mateschitz by a further two years. Vettel will thus be racing for the title of world champion on the Red Bull team until at least 2014. He has already won five of seven Formula One races in the new season.

Oppenhoff partner Gert Dittert also advised Sebastian Vettel on the recent contract conclusion. “I am delighted that we are able to advise today’s fastest Formula One driver, Sebastian.” Dittert has been advising the Formula One world champion for several years on ongoing contractual, competition and trademark issues.
