Sebastian Vettel says he is not thinking about his retirement from F1. At the end of last year, Nico Rosberg suddenly quit his Mercedes contract as he achieved his dream of winning the world championship.
When asked if he could do the same if he wins a fifth title, which would be his first for Ferrari, Vettel told Playboy: “I haven’t thought about it. I see it as an extremely big decision, not something spontaneous.”
Vettel takes issue with Rosberg’s reasoning that he decided to retire in order to have a quieter life. “I see him running from one appointment to the next,” said the German, referring to Rosberg’s new ventures as Robert Kubica’s manager and a part-time television pundit.
