Aston Martin would prefer to keep hold of Sebastian Vettel if the veteran Formula 1 star decides to prolong his career in the sport.
The German's current contract expires at the end of the year, with few suggestions so far that an extension is imminent or likely. Vettel's admission that he is yet to decide what he wants to do in 2023 has only poured fuel on retirement rumours.
His time with Aston Martin is yet to yield the sort of results that he was expecting or hoping for. A disappointing debut campaign, in which the team was unable to truly compete with its midfield rivals, has so far been followed up by more of the same.
