Vettel’s future in Formula 1 is uncertain with the German making it clear that he only wants to continue if success is on the horizon.

And at this moment in time it doesn’t appear as if it is coming.

Aston Martin have scored just seven points, five of those coming from Vettel who last time out in Monaco, in the heavily revised AMR22, was tenth.

But tenth is not what he wants to be fighting for, Vettel revealing he has yet to make a decision about 2023 and whether or not he wants to continue racing.

Krack, however, feels the driver is showing signs that he is not yet ready to quit.

Sebastian Vettel has told the media to lay off Mick Schumacher…

“If you see him in a debrief or on the phone, the way he gets involved – nobody drives like that who doesn’t want to drive,” grandprix.com quotes the Aston Martin team
