Sebastian Vettel has been told to consider retirement from Formula 1 in the wake of his disastrous Australian Grand Prix performance last weekend.
The four-time world champion is one of the most successful drivers in the sport's history, but is a long way from his heyday. He looks short on confidence and, after leaving Ferrari on a sour note, is now racing for an Aston Martin team which is struggling for performance.
Little was expected of the German at the race in Melbourne, considering the team's troubles and his Covid-enforced absence. It was his first Grand Prix of the 2022 season, having missed the first two due to positive tests for the virus.
