Sebastian Vettel has played down the idea that he could return to F1, after retiring from the sport at the end of last season.
Rumours have continued to swirl linking the ex-Red Bull man with a comeback, but he has now poured cold water on that speculation.
“You can never completely rule out something like that, but at a certain point it’s just over,” Vettel said.
“My age is not the problem and it was completely my choice to draw the line. But I didn’t draw that line and then lift it again a year later.
“I consider myself lucky that I can now spend time with my family and my children. That’s my priority right now.
“In recent years I have now been able to discover the bigger world. Formula 1, no matter how big it is, is therefore becoming smaller in comparison.”
