The world champion aimed to return to Formula 1, four teams 'closed the

At the end of the 2022 season, four-time Formula 1 world champion Sebastian Vettel decided to retire from racing for family reasons.

But it seems that the 4-time world champion has aimed to return to racing this year, but has not been welcomed.

According to what was revealed by "F1-Insider", Vettel has never stopped looking for other solutions to return to the track.

The German driver initially tried to land at Audi-Sauber, but received a polite rejection from the project's then CEO Andreas Seidl.

That's not all. Aware of Sergio Perez's struggles as Max Verstappen's teammate, Vettel reportedly tried to get offered to Red Bull, for a sensational comeback to where he won the world championships.

Helmut Marko admitted his contacts with the 37-year-old, but the response was again negative.

Williams also responded negatively to the German driver a few months ago, deciding to take Carlos Sainz. 

The latest rejection came from Porsche, which after several tests with the four-time world champion at the wheel of the Hypercar 963, preferred to turn to other profiles.
