Additionally, while speaking to the Race at Indianapolis last weekend, Rahal assured that the offer still stands after Vettel’s retirement. He said, “It’s open anytime he wants to try and maybe he wants to come race, I’m sure we can find a way to do it.”

He goes on to add, “if he wants to come try it, look, I’m sure there’s a seat, there’s a home for him. In many ways, we’re gearing up to look at a fourth [car] in the future anyway. So, not saying he wants to do it full-time, but if he wants to come try it, he certainly can.”
