Sebastian Vettel had been due to go head-to-head with Valtteri Bottas in a rather different setting of the snow-surrounded Race of Champions in Sweden this weekend - but a late change of heart means the intriguing battle is off.
Bottas, who left Mercedes to join Alfa Romeo ahead of the 2022 season, withdrew on Friday due to “other commitments” - just two days before the battle was set to take place.
