Vettel's intentions to return were revealed
after he was asked by Sky Sports if he was included in the
driver market for 2025.
"Well potentially I am because I haven't got a drive, but the
question is, am I looking for one? I think it depends on the
package," Vettel said. "I retired from Formula One not to come
back but I did say 'you never know,' so ... I think it still
stands.
"Obviously there are some things that I miss, which are mostly
the competition, and things that I don't miss. That hasn't
changed, life is very different if you're not involved (in F1),
and I do enjoy that still -- still trying lots of different
things."
The departure of Lewis Hamilton will open a spot on the Mercedes
team, which is run by Toto Wolff.
"I've had conversations with him, not really about the seat --
we did speak about the whole situation in short as well, but I
did speak to others as well because I'm still keeping in touch
every now and then. I have some projects and ideas together with
F1 and see if they will turn out or not, but I am staying in
touch," Vettel said.
"I don't know, it has to be a couple more phone calls and
conversations to really find out a little bit more. But for sure
it's one of the best seats on the grid. Performance-wise
Mercedes has a great track record, struggling a little bit in
the past few years, but their struggle is still second and third
in the constructors' (championship) so it's not like you are
racing in no man's land."
