The former Red Bull star was reportedly a candidate for Toto Wolff when Lewis Hamilton announced he would be moving to Ferrari in 2025, for example.

Most recently, rumours over a potential move to Cadillac in 2026 have surfaced, with Mario Andretti having revealed that the team will be looking for an experienced F1 veteran to partner a young American driver when the team joins the grid in 2026.

Vettel was seen at a few F1 events during 2024, including at the Imola Grand Prix, where he led tributes on the 30th anniversary of the legendary Ayrton Senna's death.
