The 2022 Formula One season is rapidly coming to a close with just two races to go, but while some may be looking forward to the winter offseason, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will mark the end of an era.
Sebastian Vettel announced before summer break that he would be retiring from the sport at the end of the season, ending a 16-year run that featured 15 full-time seasons, 53 wins, 57 pole positions and four world championship titles (2010 to ’13). And while the German driver’s farewell tour is coming to a close in a few short weeks, Vettel isn’t completely closing the door on a possible F1 return.
