Vettel said that the children are against his return to racing.

      Four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel took part in the recording of the podcast Backstage Boxengasse. Among other things, Sebastian once again assured that he has no plans to resume his racing career.

      Sebastian Vettel: "I think I'm already used to living in a slightly different rhythm. I'm used to family life. The kids once said they wouldn't let me race anymore because they liked it when I spent a lot of time at home. Of course, I'm pleased to hear that."

      When Sebastian was asked to comment on the words of Helmut Marko, who called Vettel his ideal successor, the German driver replied: "There is only one Helmut, and his role is very clear.

      Of course, my experience and Helmut's are similar in a certain sense. He grew up in motorsport, although at a completely different time, but the wheels turned exactly the same way they do now. The same things are important today as they were many years ago, although Formula 1 has changed significantly. I think a lot of his experience can be passed on.

      We'll see if this will lead to something in the future. I continue to keep in touch with him. A few years ago, I asked Helmut how long he was going to work, and he replied that he didn't have much time. But he's still in his place.

      It would be a shame if no one took his position after he left. Then the team will have to develop in a different direction."
