F1 LIVE: Mercedes ‘finalise Max Verstappen contract’ as Lewis Hamilton blamed | F1 | Sport

Sebastian Vettel is set to decide in the coming ‘days and weeks’ about a potential return to F1, according to reports.

It’s just two years since Vettel called it a day and retired from F1, but the German has been linked with a sensational return.

Vettel is believed to be a possible candidate to replace Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes, after the German constructor missed out on Fernando Alonso, who is signing a contract extension at Aston Martin.

The four-time world champion has also been rumoured to be of interest to Porsche’s World Endurance team as well, and their head of operations has teased his decision could be imminent.

Speaking to Motorsport-Total.com: “We have read in the media that he is in talks with several people. But we only know that he has not yet decided what he will do.

“We also do not know if he will run again, where and when. That will be known in the coming days or weeks.

“So we also don’t know if he will race with us in the future.”
