Sebastian Vettel hung up his helmet at the end of 2022, but the German is now said to be dreaming of a comeback in Formula 1. Apparently, he even made an attempt last year.
At the end of the 2022 F1 campaign, Sebastian Vettel retired from his F1 career after 15 years. Recent reports suggest that the German driver is considering a comeback to the sport. Vettel achieved his most successful years as a Red Bull driver, securing four championships with the team based in Milton Keynes. Despite his move to Ferrari in 2015 with hopes of winning a title like his idol Michael Schumacher, he fell short of that goal. Vettel’s last two seasons with Aston Martin were less successful, only managing to secure one podium finish in less competitive cars. Now, after two years away from racing, there are speculations of Vettel wanting to return to Formula 1, even trying to secure a seat with Audi. However, Audi has chosen Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto instead of Vettel for their works team in 2026, despite Vettel’s interest.
