Official Deal Completed as F1 Legend Sebastian Vettel Makes Stunning Comeback
Formula 1 legend Sebastian Vettel is officially making his racing comeback after completing a major deal, marking a highly anticipated return to the track. The four-time world champion retired from F1 after the 2022 season with Aston Martin, but it has now been confirmed that he will be back in action in 2025 at a special motorsport event.
Vettel’s illustrious career saw him become one of the greatest drivers in F1 history. His golden era with Red Bull from 2009 to 2015 included four consecutive world championships from 2010 to 2013. His dominance not only solidified his legacy but also helped Red Bull secure four successive Constructors’ Championships, cementing the team’s place at the top of the sport.
After stepping away from F1, Vettel dedicated his time to environmental activism and social causes. However, in 2025, he is set to return to competitive racing at the Race Of Champions (ROC), scheduled to take place on March 7 and 8 at Accor Stadium in Sydney, Australia. This will be the first time in the event’s history that it is held in the Southern Hemisphere, promising an electrifying battle between top drivers from multiple racing disciplines, including F1, WEC, and Nascar.
Vettel is no stranger to success at the ROC. He won the individual title in London in 2015 and clinched the Nations Cup six times alongside the legendary Michael Schumacher. In 2025, he will team up with Mick Schumacher, Michael’s son, to represent Germany, making this an emotionally significant and highly anticipated pairing. Their participation continues the legacy of one of the most dominant duos in ROC history.
Alongside Vettel’s return, another major announcement has been made—Pirelli has been confirmed as the official tire supplier for the 2025 Race Of Champions. Mario Isola, Pirelli Motorsport Director, expressed his excitement about the partnership, stating, “The Race Of Champions is a unique event because it allows drivers from different racing backgrounds to compete on equal terms, showcasing their raw talent. For Pirelli, this is a fantastic opportunity to be associated with an iconic motorsport event, which this year is taking place in Australia, a country with a deep passion for racing.”
Meanwhile, Pirelli remains heavily involved in F1 tire development, conducting recent test sessions with top drivers such as Lewis Hamilton. These tests are crucial as F1 prepares for a major regulatory shift in 2026, where new tire technologies will be introduced to improve performance and sustainability.
Vettel’s return is undoubtedly one of the biggest motorsport stories of 2025. While he is not making a full-time comeback to F1, his participation in the ROC alongside Mick Schumacher is expected to deliver a thrilling spectacle for fans worldwide. Will Vettel add another trophy to his collection at the Race Of Champions? The answer will be revealed in March when the German star takes on the world’s best drivers in Sydney.
