Have Sebastian Vettel a place in the Red Bull Formula 1 team as a manager? Marko Helmutadviser to the team, has not ruled it out but wanted to make it clear that the German must first “find himself”: “He has to see what exactly he wants.”
This is how he stated it in statements to ‘RTL’: “One of his arguments for why he was leaving was his family life and if he were to occupy a managerial position, would require as much effort and travel as now.”
“We know how he works, we know that he is an intelligent and open-minded young man,” said the adviser to the energy drink team.
Therefore Vettel will not have this position, at least in the short term. Since, as Marko has stated, he would mean having to travel with Formula 1 23 weekends a year, as if he were a pilot.
Vettel left the Great Circus to dedicate himself to his family. He has stated that his intention is take some time off before thinking about the competition again. One of his options could be rallies, although in that case competing. A very different adventure from the one he would face at Red Bull as a manager.
The four-time F1 champion has left almost by surprise at the age of 35. He completed the only two seasons that Aston Martin accumulated on the grid and has replaced another of the veterans and champions: Fernando Alonso.
Red Bull is the fashionable team in the Great Circus. He has won two consecutive drivers’ championships with max verstappen and the 2022 manufacturer’s ahead of Mercedes. And in the near future he could incorporate as ‘boss’ a Vettel who knows the ins and outs of the competition very well.
