In 2010, Mercedes surprised everyone by announcing Michael Schumacher for their Formula 1 team. The seven-time world champion had retired at the end of 2006 and returned for three more seasons with the German constructor. Could Sebastian Vettel now follow in his compatriot’s footsteps and make a sensational comeback to the grid in 2025, replacing Lewis Hamilton?
Speculation about this scenario arose after it was known that the British driver is leaving for Ferrari at the end of this year. However, in statements to RTL, the team boss and executive director of Mercedes, Toto Wolff, put a brake on the expectations:
– We talked last week. But it wasn’t about him driving again. I believe Sebastian has made the decision that he no longer wants to do that.
