Retiring Sebastian Vettel would “seriously consider” one-off F1 return at Suzuka
Vettel will make final appearance at Suzuka this weekend, the scene of his 2011 title triumph and four grand prix vict𒆙ories.
Speaking on Thursday in the FIA's 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 Japanese GP press conference, Vettel a🐈dmitted he’d be open to returning to F1 if it meant he could drive at Suzuka again.
“Maybe one of these guys, in one of theꦫ future races here, will feel a bit sick,” he said. “I don't wish them to feel so but I wouldn't mind jumping back for a race at Suzuka at any time. Obviously we will see what the future brings but at the moment I have no plans.
“But💧 there are some exciting races happening in Japan. I don't know🍷, we will see.”
The German was then asked if he was being serious about a one-off return: “About a one-race carꦇeer in the future? Yeah.
“If anybody is happy to sign up a driver for a sing𒊎le race - I'm sure these guys wouldn't be happy to step aside - but it would be something I'd seriously consider.”
Vettel refused to get drawn into details about what series or cars he will drive after F1 as he was ques♏tioned about Japan’s two main motorsport championships - Super GT and Super Formula.
“I guess they are racing in Suzuka as well,” he added. “I don't know, never say nevꦯer. It is a great track for many, many reasons,🍎 and who knows what the future brings. I don't know.
“Obviously, I lovꦿe driving, and around this track, I always felt very alive and the passion feels very alive. We will see what type of car, in the future, will come up.”
Ahead of his 12th, and most likely,🐠 final Japanese GP at Suzuka, Vettel conceded that “it does feel a bit different”.
"I've alw𒊎ays loved the track, I think it stands out," Vettel explained. "It's my favourite track on the calendar, and the calendars have changed over so many yea🍌rs.
"Tracks have disappeared - well, they're still there but they'r𝄹e not on the calendar anymore - and we've added other tracks.But from my very first time this has been a special place, just the layout of corners, the first sector, it's iconic, a figure-of-eight track, the only one we have, plus then the atmosphere and the attention the sport gets when we come here is crazy.
"Lots of very nicܫe memories. I didn't think at the other races...obviously, I know it will be my last time in other places, to💛o, but here it does feel a bit different somehow."
