Helmut Marko has revealed that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel has “repeatedly enquired” about making a return to F1 with Red Bull.

Vettel bowed out of F1 at the end of 2022 follow🥃ing two lacklustre season𝓡s with Aston Martin.

Even though he’s been out of the sport, Vettel has been l♛inked with a possible return.

Audi was mooted as one option as they looked for a German driver, ultimately opting for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg.

However, the competitiveness of Audi - and the⛄ fact they don’t come into F1 until 2026 - was likely off-putting for Vettel.

But it seems like V🧜ettel would have made a comebac⭕k if it was with Red Bull.

In an interview with  , Marko claimed that Vettel expressed interest in replac♏ing Sergio Perez.

“[Vettel] has 🧸repeatedly enquired with us, but I don't think it wo🀅uld be pleasant for him to drive next to Max Verstappen,” Marko said.

"If I'm correctly informed, he seems to be moving towards Porsche and long-distance racing. I think that would be a very nice 𝓰step for him."

Red Bull are likely to retain Perez, with numerous reports suggesting a deal could be announced within𒈔 the next few weeks.

Perez has been with the team since 2021, acting as a solid support driver to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.

How꧒ever, Red Bull will need to be wary g💖iven McLaren and Ferrari’s improved form in the early races of 2024.
