P🍨orsche have explained why will not drive for them🍸 at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The F1 legend and four-time champion tested a Porsche 963 at Aragon earlier this year - a high-profile union between a German ☂legend an🐽d a German powerhouse manufacturer.

But, Porsche have since confirmed that Mathieu Jaminet, Nick Tandy and Felipe🌃 Nasr will be behind the wheel of t💮heir #4 car at the iconic endurance race.

Porsche LMDh factory director 🧸Urs Kuratle explained why he ꧋overlooked Vettel.

“We had discussions and it didn’t work for this year’s Le Mans🐟 for some reasons and tha🐠t’s it,” Kuratle told .

“It’s partly how you can prepare it, and it 🗹didn’t come together. The time in the car would have been limited, and there’s not much more we could have done with the test ban we have.

“I’m 🧸not blaming the test ban, but in the situation we are in, we are not able to have a third car here [at Spa] for example like we used to in the past. The situatio🉐n was just not right."

K🔜uratle has left the door open to work🍌ing with Vettel in the future.

“It could be,” he suggested.

“The book is not closed, buꦗt it’s also ♚not defined how it continues.

“It’s not because we don’t want, or he doesn’t want, simply becaꦦuse the discussions have not been done.”

Vettel, now aged 36, has also f✤lirted with an🦩 F1 comeback.

He teased that he wanted "the right pack🐻age" to come back. Mercedes have a notable vacanc🌃y in 2025, when Lewis Hamilton will go to Ferrari.

Vettel has been retired🍌 from F1 for two years෴ after a stint with Aston Martin.

He won his four titles with Red Bull.
