Sebastian Vettel has hinted at a potential return to Formula 1

Sebastian Vettel has hinted at a potential return to Formula 1, engaging in discussions with Mercedes boss Toto Wolff and other team principals. The four-time world champion retired from F1 in 2022 after a remarkable 16-season career but has been linked with a comeback since then. With Mercedes needing to fill Lewis Hamilton's seat in 2025, following his move to Ferrari, and a potential vacancy at Red Bull due to Sergio Perez's contract expiring, Vettel's return seems plausible. 

Speaking to Sky News, Vettel acknowledged the discussions but remained non-committal. At 34, he would become one of the elder statesmen on the grid, alongside Hamilton and Fernando Alonso. Vettel's potential return adds intrigue to the upcoming F1 seasons, as fans speculate on his future team and performance. Vettel and Hamilton, former rivals turned friends, developed a strong bond before Vettel retired. Vettel expressed surprise at Hamilton's move to Ferrari, mirroring his own journey.
