Vettel says he has been speaking with Mercedes boss Toto Wolff, who has made it clear he would also love to sign Red Bull’s Max Verstappen.
Wolff could also opt for highly-rated 17-year-old Kimi Antonelli, but when asked if he was in the running, Vettel did not rule out a return.
He said: “Well, potentially I am because I haven’t got a drive, but the question is, am I looking for one?
“I think it depends on the package. I retired from Formula One not to come back, but I also did say that you never know. So I think it still stands.
