Will Sebastian Vettel return to F1?
The former Red Bull star has said whether he returns to F1 “depends on the package” that is offered to him.
“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.
“You never know where life is taking you, so maybe it takes me back behind the wheel, maybe it doesn’t.”
Vettel has been backed by Hamilton to replace him at Mercedes,with the seven-time world champion offering his support for the move.
“I would love for Seb to come back,” Hamilton said. “I think he would be an amazing option for the team, to have a multi world championship-winning driver, someone who’s got amazing values to continue to take this team forwards… I would love it if he came back.”
Vettel led home a Ferrari 1-2 at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, with teammate Charles Leclerc following him over the line as Hamilton rounded off the podium positions.
