Sebastian Vettel could remain as part of the Formula 1 world even beyond his retirement as a driver.
The four-time world champion announced on Thursday that this season will be his last. He plans to take a break from racing to focus on other priorities in his life, such as spending more time with his wife and children.
But there is a chance his face may not disappear from the paddock for good, given he currently holds another role within the sport. For more than a decade, Vettel has been one of the directors of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association to advocate on behalf of his fellow racers.
