Mattia Binotto was quizzed about bringing 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel out of retirement for Audi.

F1 leg🧔end Vettel retired at the end of 2022 after a stint with Aston Martin but, this year, teased a comeback.

Audi, who will run as Sauber until a full evolutio🗹n into the mighty German brand in 2026, stil🔥l have one vacant race seat in 2025.

New Audi boss Binotto was asked if one of Germany’s sporting icons co🎃uld be brought back to represent the manufacturer from his home country.

"I love Sebastian,” Binotto was quoted by .

“I know him well from the ꦜpast and appreciate working💮 with him.

“I know how strong he is as a p✤erson and as a dr🤪iver."

Binotto was chief technical officer at Ferrari when Vettel ar🌞rived in a mega-money deal.

But Vettel was never able to add to the four championships he won at Red Bull♓ in an ill-fated spell at Ferrari.

Binotto eventually became Ferrari team principal but could not end their barren streak of F1 titles, which stretch🔥es back to Kimi Raikkonen in 2007.

After being replaജced by Fred Vasseur, Binotto made an F1 comeback this year when he got the job as Audi’s Chief Operating and Chief Technical Officer.

Vettel teased a return

Vettel spoke about returning to racing in F1 earlier this y🐼ear, when Me🌳rcedes were debating who might replace Lewis Hamilton.

Mercedes have since settled on Kimi Antonelli.

But Vettel floated his own name, in ꧒what would have been a fairytale U-turn on retirement ඣin identical fashion to Michael Schumacher who came back to drive for Mercedes.

“I think it depends on tಌhe package,” Vettel said to Sky Sports in April when asked about racing again.

"I retired from Formula 1 not to come bac🦩k, but I also did say that you never know. So I think it still stands.

"Obvious🌌ly, there's things that I miss, which is mostly the competition. And things that I don't miss, so that hasn't changed.”
