Sebastian Vettel has decided to retire from Formula 1 at the end of the 2022 season. Since the Japanese Grand Prix weekend, the four-time world champion has been attracting a lot of attention. There are numerous rumors suggesting that Vettel may make a return to F1 in 2025 with the Mercedes team.
Several notable figures have shared their opinions on the matter, and the latest individual to express support for Sebastian Vettel is a current Mercedes driver. This driver truly believes that the sport is missing the presence of the German driver on the track.
Despite retiring at the end of the 2022 season, Vettel’s reputation remains strong. British driver George Russell expressed his belief that Vettel is still among the top twenty F1 drivers. With his impressive track record as a four-time world champion, any team would be lucky to have Vettel as part of their lineup.
While Russell praised Vettel, he also stated that he is open to having any teammate next year. The 26-year-old driver is confident in his own racing abilities.
In fact, Russell even mentioned that he would be open to partnering with the talented Max Verstappen as his teammate. Starting in 2025, Russell will take on the role of lead driver at Mercedes. However, if an experienced driver like Vettel were to join the team, it would be intriguing to see how Russell would handle the situation.
