He said, “I have a lot of interests. In general, I let myself be carried away easily by passionate people. Even if they are things that I don’t really like, I can easily develop a new passion. You have to wait and see how sustainable that is.

I can understand that finding something else is a big challenge. The easiest way out would be to become a Sky reporter and stay in the same place for how many years. I can’t exactly imagine that, but who knows.” (Translated via Google Translate)

The German also added more to his thoughts about the future, mentioning how he hopes to balance his love for F1 with caring for his family.

“You know, I love the sporty side, and you don’t want to turn your back on the sport and say ‘never again’. So you never know what’s going to happen,” said the 34-year-old.

“But I think it’s important to think about what happens afterwards There are already different things to do. I also have a family. So it’s pretty easy to take care of other things if I should retire.”

Many would believe Vettel can pursue almost any route to stay connected with the sport. However, the 34-year-old will look to continue driving in the pinnacle of motorsports for as long as he can. With Aston Martin confirming he will be on the grid next year, the four-time world champion will look to end 2021 on a high.
