Vettel - is this four-time champion's last season in F1?

Contract with Aston Martin expires at the end of the year

It has been a wretched start to the new F1 season for Sebastian Vettel.

The four-time F1 champion initially contracted the coronavirus that forced him out of the opening two races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

Witnessing the performance of the AMR22 across those grands prix will have given Vettel little motivation to return for the recent Australian Grand Prix, which proved to be a disaster.

A power unit issue in first practice that saw him sit out FP2 was followed by a crash in final practice, with the repairs leading to a late qualifying assault that saw him start a lowly 18th before insult was added to injury with another crash in the race.

The 34-year-old, who is in the final year of a two-year deal with Aston Martin, is not someone who will continue to suffer such indignity.

So the question for today is...

Is this Sebastian Vettel's final year in F1?
