Audi is eagerly looking forward to making their mark in F1. The German carmaker has already filled in the leadership roles of the team alongside one primary driver. Hence, Audi has further showcased interest in Ex-F1 driver and world champion Sebastian Vettel after his recent exit from the sport.
Sebastian Vettel continued to be synonymous with legendary drivers in the past after his performances. Additionally, the German was quite active on social media regarding the happenings in F1. As a result, Audi’s interest in Vettel wasn’t shocking. As per OE24, Helmut Marko has reportedly been believed to confirm the news to be true.
The German’s re-entry into the sport with the German constructor would be a highly interesting ordeal. However, with Audi’s other interests in Daniel Ricciardo and Sergio Perez, one could only dream of the four-time world champion returning.
Sebastian Vettel’s close relationship with Audi’s hierarchy could further facilitate the move
Audi has already appointed Mattia Binotto as the leader of the F1 project. Additionally, Jonathan Wheatley who worked with Red Bull under Sebastian Vettel has joined as the team principal. Hence, Vettel knows both these top roles very well in the sport after closely working with them in the past.
Additionally, Nico Hulkenberg who is already signed for Audi, would pair up with Vettel and form a great line-up. The all-German duo would be a spectacle to witness especially for the German fans. As a result, these factors further make the move favorable for the four-time world champion.
Sebastian Vettel could extend his legacy in the sport after joining Audi in F1. Apart from this, Vettel’s great racing knowledge could be crucial for the team’s setup in the initial years. Time will tell about how the entire situation pans out for the German driver’s return to the pinnacle of motorsport.
