(Reuters) - Four times Formula One champion Sebastian Vettel recognised he was sailing through a 'rough sea' but said on Thursday there had been no talks with Ferrari about parting ways before the end of the season. The German has scored just 10 points from five races, compared to team mate Charles Leclerc's 45. Ferrari announced in May that Vettel, who had been expecting a new contract, would be leaving at the end of the year with Spaniard Carlos Sainz joining from McLaren. Vettel said he still got pleasure from driving the car but obviously not as much as when fighting at the front and having smooth races. Obviously at the moment its not all plain sailing and calm, it's a rather rough sea, but it is what it is and I have to do the best I can."
