Sebastian Vettel fears he will never again have the opportunity to race in front of his home crowd in Formula 1.

The four-time former World Champion has been on the grid since 2007 but unlike his title rival for much of his career, Lewis Hamilton, he does not have a great record when competing in his own country.

Whereas Hamilton has eight British Grand Prix successes Vettel has won the German GP only once, in 2013 at the Nurburgring for Red Bull.

The most recent German Grand Prix took place in 2019, when Vettel finished second to Max Verstappen, and since then the race has dropped off the calendar due to financial reasons.
