Four-time F1 world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel says he is yet to decide whether he wants to return to competitive racing, following his high-profile Porsche te🥃st✅.
Vettel completed 581km in Porsche Penske Motorsport’s 963 Hypercar during a test at Aragon on Tuesday, m༒arking his first motorsport outing since he called time on his illustrious F1 career at theꦬ end of 2022.
The German✱ is reported to have held preliminary talks with Porsche customer team Jota last year about driving one of their 963 cars in the World Endurance Championship.
But the 36-year-old is keeping his cards close to✨ his chest about whether he is interested in a competitive follow-up and possible shot at the world-famous Le Mans♏ 24 Hours.
"I was curious how these cars behave, and that was the reason for the test. It was a very nice experience, I enjoyed it a lot, I hꦦad a lot of fun," Vettel explained.
"Now I need to think and decide, and make my mind up what I m𝄹aybe want to do in terms of racing in the future. But I don't know yet."
But the possibility of racing together at some point in the future has not𝐆 been ruled out by Ve𒈔ttel or Porsche.
“Of course, I also keep an eye🥂 on other motorsport disciplines,” Vettel said.
“I know many drivers 🗹who are active in the WEC and Le Mans. At some point, my curiosity was so great that I had the idea of trying it out myself. Porsche gave me the opportunity to test a current hypercar wiꦚth the 963.
“After the seat adjustment, the simulator session, and the roll-out in Weissach, I already had a good feeling. Driving the Porsche 963 on the track here in Aragon – that was definitely fun. I first ꦉhad to get used 🦩to everything and find my rhythm.”
Speaking about his team’s test, PPM managing director Jonathan Diuguid added: “Having Sebastian Vettel here is a unique opportunity for the team. He is a four-time Formula 1 world champion.🌱 He has massive experience with hybrid systems and high performance racing cars.
“Having his fresh unique persp⛄ective on where the car is and gives feed💖back on our systems and performances is a unique opportunity. We are happy to have him here.
“Heও came out of the car 🧜with a smile which is all good."
