Sebastian Vettel yet to ‘make up mind’ over racing return after Porsche test
Sebastian Vettel admits he is yet to decide wh𝓡ether he wants to return to competitive racing.
Four-time F1 world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel says he is yet to decide🧜 whether he wants to return to competitive racing, following his high-profilꦓe Porsche test.
Vettel completed 581km in Porsche Penske Motorsport’s 963 Hypercar during a test at Aragon on Tuesday, marking his first motorsport outing since he called time on his illustr♔ious F1 career at the end o🌳f 2022.
The German is report🍒e❀d to have held preliminary talks with Porsche customer team Jota last year about driving one of their 963 cars in the World Endurance Championship.
But the 36-year-old is keeping his cards close to his chest about whether he is interested in a competit꧒ive follow-up and possible shot at the world-famous Le Mans 24 Hours.
"I was curious how these cars behave, and that was the reason for the test. It was a very nice experience, I enjoyed it a lot, I had a lot of fun," Vettel explained.🍌
"Now I need to think and decide, and make my mind up what I maybe want to do in 💟terms of racing in the future. But I don't know yet."
But the posꦿsibility of racing together at some point in the future has not been ruꦓled out by Vettel or Porsche.
“Of course, I also keep💛 an eye on other motorsport disciplines,” Vettel said.
“I know many drivers who are active in the WEC and Le Mans. At some point, my curi🅷osity was so great that I had the idea of trying it out myself. Porsche gave me the opportunity to test a current hypercar with the 963.
“After the seat adjustment, 🐼the simulator session, and the roll-out in Weissach, I already had a good feeling. Driving the Porsche 963 on the track here in Aragon – that was definitely fun. I first had to get used to everything and find my rhythm.”
Speaking about his team’s test, PPM managing director Jonathan Diuguid added: “Having Sebastian Vettel here is a unique opportunity for the team. He is a four-time Formula 1 world champion. He has massive experience with hybrid systems and higꦜh performance racing cars.
“Having his fresh unique per💖spective on where the car is and gives feedback on our systems and performances is a unique opportunity. We are happy to have him here.
“He came out of𒅌 the car with a smile which is all good."
