Sebastian Vettel may stick around in F1 despite planning to retire at the end of the season. The four-time world champion announced before the Hungarian GP he will end his illustrious career once the ongoing season comes to a close.
As well as his elite driving, the German is also known for his leadership qualities and speaking up on important social issues during his F1 tenure. Fans have called for him to be given a role in the sport away from the track and F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali has hinted this may become a reality. He told Bild : "Among other things, we talked about his decision and the future.
“Sebastian will always be associated with Formula 1. And of course, we want that connection to remain close in the future. If he is interested in becoming part of our system and the approaches fit together, I would of course welcome him here. But we already know that, after the season, he wants to sort himself out and enjoy time with his family."
