Sebastian Vettel has told Red Bull Racing that he will leave the team to join Ferrari at the end of the current season.
ABC News reports that Red Bull announced the decision on Saturday at the Japanese Grand Prix, confirming Vettel would be replaced next season by current Toro Rosso driver Daniil Kvyat.
