Sebastian Vettel is potentially eyeing a return to F1, but one champion would not sign him.
Damon Hill expressed that he would not sign Sebastian Vettel if he were a team principal in F1, as he believes Vettel’s best days are behind him. Vettel, who retired in 2022 to spend time with his family, has hinted at a potential comeback, with talks with Mercedes and a possible drive with Audi in 2026. Hill, a former champion, has doubts about Vettel’s form post-Red Bull dominance, stating that he wouldn’t take a chance on him rediscovering his past glory as a team boss. Vettel, on the other hand, remains open to a return to F1, mentioning his enjoyment of competition but uncertainty about his future in the sport. The allure of a Mercedes seat, similar to Michael Schumacher’s legacy, is appealing to Vettel, who continues to stay connected to the racing world while exploring other ventures.
