Sebastian Vettel, the legendary Formula 1 driver, has been hit with a shocking ban that will shatter the dreams of fans worldwide. After an incredible career boasting four world titles and 53 Grand Prix wins, Vettel’s hopes of a comeback have been crushed by an unexpected source – his own children.
In a recent revelation on Sky Germany’s podcastBackstage Pit Lane, Vettel disclosed that his children have forbidden him from returning to the adrenaline-fueled world of Formula 1. The family man expressed his contentment with the peaceful family life he now enjoys, emphasizing his children’s happiness at having him present at home. Vettel shared, “My children told me I’m not allowed to race anymore because they like it so much that I am there. That’s of course wonderful, hearing something like that.”
With three children and a loving wife by his side, Vettel has chosen to prioritize his family over the fast-paced lifestyle of F1. Embracing retirement, the former champion has embarked on a new journey by enrolling in an agricultural degree program at the BBZ Pfaeffikon center in Switzerland. Set to complete his studies in May, Vettel will soon be well-versed in crop production, animal husbandry, and agricultural technology, showcasing his commitment to personal growth beyond the racetrack.
While Vettel made a recent appearance in Saudi Arabia to promote women’s participation in motorsport through his Race for Women karting event, it seems that his off-track endeavors will be the only glimpse fans get of the racing icon. Despite occasional appearances at F1 events, Vettel remains dedicated to his family and the pursuits that fulfill him beyond the realm of racing.
As fans come to terms with Vettel’s enforced absence from the F1 scene, speculations swirl around the motorsport world. From Verstappen’s potential transfer proposition to rumors of Hamilton’s departure from Ferrari, the F1 headlines continue to captivate audiences with uncertainty and excitement.
