Lewis Hamilton has tipped Sebastian Vettel as an 바카라amazing option바카라 to replace him at Mercedes. (More Motorsport News)
Seven-time world champion Hamilton is moving to Ferrari from next season, leaving big shoes to fill at a team where he has lifted all-but one of his drivers바카라 titles.
Vettel, meanwhile, has hinted at a return to the Formula One grid next year having left in 2022.
The German won four titles back to back between 2010 and 2013 with Red Bull and has recently had a test with Porsche that could see him race at Le Mans later this year.
Since 2000, three of the six world champions to leave the sport later returned to the grid, with Vettel potentially set to add to that list.
Michael Schumacher, Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen all had time away from F1 before being enticed back and Vettel admitted in a Sky Sports interview on Wednesday that 바카라it does cross my mind바카라 when it comes to securing a new drive and has spoken to Mercedes boss Toto Wolff.
The departing Hamilton said it was never a consideration of his to take time away from the sport, before hailing Vettel as an ideal replacement at a team that has struggled for pace in the past two years.
바카라No, I바카라ve never thought about taking a year or two off and then coming back 바카라 When I바카라m gone, hopefully I바카라m gone for good,바카라 he said.
바카라You바카라re always going to miss it. It바카라s the greatest sport in the world and it바카라s the greatest experience in the world and the most amazing feeling to be working with the people towards winning something.
바카라Probably there바카라s nothing that바카라s ever going to feel the same. I바카라ve not asked any of the drivers what they바카라re missing but I would love for Seb to come back and I think it would be an amazing option for the team.
바카라A German driver, multi-world championship winning driver, and someone who has amazing values who would continue to take the team forward. I바카라d love it if he came back.바카라
Pushed further on who he would like to take his seat 바카라 whether it be Vettel, reigning champion Max Verstappen or an F1 rookie, Hamilton replied: 바카라The only thing I really care about is that the team takes on someone that with integrity.
바카라That are aligned with the team and where the team바카라s going. Someone compassionate that바카라s able to work with great people and continues to lift them up. There바카라s so many great people in this team.바카라
Hamilton바카라s current team-mate George Russell is confirmed for Mercedes in 2025 and was enthused when it was pitched to him that he could be joined by a returning Vettel.
바카라Sebastian바카라s a great person,바카라 he said.
바카라He바카라s a four-time world champion and for sure his personality is missed on the grid.
바카라I think it is important that we have the best 20 drivers in the world all competing for race wins and championships.
바카라I바카라m really happy and open to have anybody as my team-mate, you know, whether it바카라s world champion, whether it바카라s a rookie, it doesn바카라t change how I go about my business.바카라
