David Coulthard believes Sebastian Vettel would do well to remain away from F1.
David Coulthard strongly cautioned Sebastian Vettel that he would be “delusional” to expect a successful comeback to Formula 1. Vettel retired after the 2022 season with an impressive track record, including four world titles and 53 victories, becoming the youngest world champion at 23 in 2010. His tenure at Ferrari ended in 2020 due to high-profile errors, leading him to join Aston Martin for two seasons before exiting in 2022. Despite speculations, Vettel’s potential return to the grid might not materialize until 2026, considering similar cases in F1 history such as Michael Schumacher’s comeback in 2010. Coulthard firmly opposes Vettel’s return, emphasizing that performance on the track is the ultimate measure of success.
