SEBASTIAN VETTEL has broken his silence on rumours about his Formula One retirement U-turn and replacing Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes. The 36-year-old took his gas off the pedal and left the race track at the end of the 2022 season. When his career ended Vettel said that “You should never say never” to a comeback. After Hamilton announced in February he would be leaving the Silver Arrows at the end of the year for Ferrari there was speculation Vettel would replace him. Vettel told BILD: “I’m still interested and follow the races. There’s a lot going on at the moment – on and off the track. But for now Vettel will remain retired until the right opportunity comes calling for him.
