168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel has admitted th🏅e door is not closed on a possible Formula 1 comeback.

The retired Ve🍃ttel’s openness about potentially returning to racing may provide Mercedes with an unexpected, and intriguing, option.

Lewi🎐s Hamilton’s move to Ferrari in 2025 means Mercedes are searching for a replacement.

Vettel was asked by Swiss newspaper  about whether Hamilton’s switch to Ferrari could cause him to return to F1: “I was surprised by this change.

“Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff didn't call me, but we briefly ♌exchanged text messages.

“But so far it's not an issue for me, also because at 36 I still have🐻 all the tiꦡme in the world.

“So it doesn't go away. But my signs haven♚'t changed.

“I think that Iꦜ have learned and understood a lot in this oneﷺ year without racing, including about myself.

“Being on the other side had𒉰 a big impact on me; a lot of questions came up. So far there is no active project.”

Vettel was asked if his stanꦅce on an F1 comeback was ‘a clear no?’

“No,” he responded.

“I already said back then that there wouldn't be a clear no in that sense, because I believe that everything is a p🅰rocess.

“And maybe th♏ere will come a p♈oint at which I say: Yes, I would like to go back.

“When I sort it out mentally so ♐that it suddenly makes sense🅰 again.

“But at the mom⭕ent I'm doing very 𝓡well without driving in Formula 1.

“There is no firm no, but also no firm yes.”

Wolff has already been questioned about cꦦontacting Vettel to replace Hamilton.

“Iꦿ think he made t🦂he decision to not race anymore,” Wolff said.

“We are talking on a regular basis. We’ve also ta♊lked yesterday, but it wasn’t about driving for us in the future.”

The 2024 season which 🍷kicks off this weekend i💝n Bahrain is the second without Vettel.

The German retired after a stint at Aston Martin.

He is a four-time F1 champion with all his titles coming as a Red Bull dꦺriver.

Onl🎃y Hamilton, Michael Schumacher and Max Verstappen have won more F1 grands prix🉐 than Vettel.

He insists that he ﷽is still keeping an eye on F1 from afar: “Yes I do.

“I wanted to try withdrawal at the first grand prix after my last race. I actually didn't watch👍 the practice, but shortly before qualifying I had to give in and tuned in. I also watched the race.

“It wasn't as strange a feeling as I had previously thought, watching and no longer sitting in the 💟car.

“I then saw a few races throughout the year, or at least watched the hig𝓡hlights.

“Because of course I'm still inter🔯ested in the sport, even if I'm no longer that close to it.

“I watch with my wife♚ and usually ℱcomment unconsciously.

“She say🍌s it's the first time she's really understood 💫the sport.”

He continued: “I love this sport, it is so multifacet💙ed♍ and full of depth.

“But I also understand that many things are too complex to be understood in an hour and a half. “For me t🌠he fascination is still there. But of course I'm not neutral either.

“Last year belonged to Max Verstappen.

“Of course some people fi✃nd it boring, but I think it doesn't give enough respect and recognition to his achievements.

ꦕ“I, for one, am full of admiration. Even for someone like the ski racer Marco Odermatt. It's not that the others are doing something wrong, they really try everything. But Max and Marco do it so much better.

“They give the sport its shine. That excites me. Also be❀cause I stilꦰl know what success feels like.”
