“There’s a Home for Him”: 4x Champ Sebastian Vettel Invited to Renowned American Racing Series Amid F1 Retirement

The F1 world went into a frenzy when Sebastian Vettel announced his retirement from the sport. The German driver drew the curtains on an illustrious 16-year-long career. However, the motor sporting world isn’t willing to let him go.

IndyCar driver and son of team owner Bobby Rahal, Graham Rahal, has once again extended his invitation to Vettel to test or race in IndyCar. Vettel had previously picked the Road America track over the Miami GP track, which led to Graham tweeting out to him.

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.”
