Sebastian Vettel Keeps F1 Door Ajar, Says Only Purposeful Role Would Lure Him Back

He says he is not pursuing a job unless it offers clear purpose.

Overview

  • At the São Paulo Grand Prix, Vettel campaigned on climate issues and told Reuters he would consider a new Formula One role only if it is meaningful and has a human component.
  • He stressed he is not knocking on doors for employment and does not want a position taken just to make money.
  • Vettel confirmed brief talks with Red Bull adviser Helmut Marko that never gained traction and did not lead to a formal offer.
  • He said he remains content in retirement and has no regrets about ending his driving career in 2022.
  • He acknowledged F1’s sustainability challenges and pointed to synthetic fuels, the 2030 net-zero target, and more sustainable travel as areas the sport should advance.
