Marko Slams the Door on ‘Nostalgic’ Sebastian Vettel Homecoming to Red Bull Racing Family

There will be no fairy tale ending to the legendary career of Sebastian Vettel. The German driver started his F1 career in 2007 with BMW Sauber. But he burst onto the scene with his performances in the Red Bull junior team, Toro Rosso.

From the moment he left the team in 2009, he achieved greatness in the sport with 4 World Championships and multiple wins. But Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has confirmed that a return to Red Bull’s junior team is not on the cards for Vettel.

“There’s just no room for such nostalgic thoughts. You also need the motivation of the entire technical crew,” said Marko to Formel.de.

Although the German driver is in the latter years of his career, he has shown no signs of slowing down or retiring from F1. He is putting in decent performances in his efforts to take his current Aston Martin further up the grid.

Can Sebastian Vettel achieve success with Aston Martin?

The British team is currently lagging in 9th in the constructor’s championship this season. But, they also have been on an upward trajectory in the past couple of races courtesy of the results of the four-time world champion. Aston Martin’s performance director Tom McCullough revealed some features of the upgrades in AMR22.

“We’ve got a wider operating window that we can set the car up in, which you really need to go between Barcelona, which has obviously got a lot of high speed, grip-limited content, and then you go to Monaco and here [Baku], where the circuit efficiency is the biggest difference and there’s a lot more low-speed content.

“It just gives us a bit more freedom. We can just move the car around a bit and we’re not just pinned to a certain point because of certain issues,” said the Aston Martin performance director.
