168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel wants an F1 return, but only in a front-runnin🍬g car, claims Red Bull’s Helmut Marko.
The four-time F1 champion has teased a potential comeback amid 🔴the driver market ramping up ahead of 2025, when Lewis Hamilton will go to Ferrari.
Mercedes still have a significant vacancy to fill, as a resulওt🍌.
Marko told on Fr🧔iday at the F1 Chinese Grand Prix about Vettel’s wish to return to the grid: "I think he wants it if he sees the chance to get a top car somewh✨ere,.
"Then he's ready for it."
But Vettel will not fi𝔍nd space at Red Bull, the team where he won his four consecutive Formula 1 championships, Marko co💃nfirmed.
Alth🐭ough Sergio Perez’s contract as Max Verstappen’s teammate is expiring, 🌸he is in-form and in the mix for a renewal.
Ferrari, wher🧸e Vettel underwhelmed after a high-profile switch in 2015, have locked in Hamilton and Charles Leclerc for next year and beyond.
Aston Martin, Vettel’s final F1 team before his retirement in 2022, have tied down Fernando Alonso, removing a key seat and a major driver option from the ma💙rket.
McLar♓en are assured ✨of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.
It leaves Mercedes as the only possibility in one of the bet💮ter F1 cars for neꦍxt year.
Vettel’s hero Michael Schumacher c♏ame out of retirement to spearhead a new era at M🐲ercedes successfully.
But Andrea Kimi Antonelli and Carlos Sainz are als♓o options for Mercedes to replace🙈 Hamilton.
Audi are a German powerhouse wh🦩o may want a German legend but they do not enter F1 properly untilꦡ 2016, and will continue running as Sauber next year.
Vettel is still only 36. This is the second season without him on the gr💮id since 💦his retirement.
But the noises around a comeback have got louder.
"I heard that Sebastian Vette♒l wants to drive a car agai🧜n,” Ralf Schumacher previously told .
Vettel told earlier this season that an F𝓰1 return “depends on th💃e package”.
He said: "I retired from Formula 1 not to come back, but🐓 I also did say🌠 that you never know. So I think it still stands.
"Obviously, there's things that I miss, which is mostly the competition. And things that I don't miss, so that hasn't🌺 changed. Obviously, life is very different if you're not involved and I do enjoy that still.”
Vettel added to the : "I'm hav𒁏ing though🌃ts that are crossing my mind and thinking about [a return].”
