Mercedes Motorsport Director Toto Wolff has not ruled out a commitment by four-time Formula 1 world champion Sebastian Vettel to the 2021 season.
“The question for us is what we do with George Russell. It is an option. Then there is also a Sebastian Vettel variant, ”said the Austrian in an interview:“ But this is not the very first agenda because we have to concentrate on our own driver ranks. ”
Vettel will still be behind the wheel of Ferrari until the end of the year, when the 32-year-old will leave Scuderia and be replaced by Spaniard Carlos Sainz. “Sebastian has everything under control,” said Wolff. “He can decide for himself whether he wants to stop or stay with another team. There are still some interesting places. ”
