Sebastian Vettel ends his Formula 1 career this year.
The Heppenheimer receives a job offer from the boss for the time afterwards - as an eco-minister?
Munich – Four world championship titles, 53 wins, 57 pole positions: Sebastian Vettel will end his career in Formula 1 at the end of the season after an estimated 300 races.
It is clear that a personality like Vettel arouses desires in Formula 1 even after the end of his career.
The 35-year-old Aston Martin driver received a job offer before his last Grand Prix – personally from the head of the top racing series.

"Among other things, we talked about his decision and the future," said F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali of
Sport Bild
.
The former Ferrari team boss therefore sought the conversation immediately after Vettel's resignation announcement last Thursday and took an hour.
"Sebastian will always be associated with Formula 1. Of course we want the connection to remain close in the future. If he is interested in becoming part of our system and the approaches fit together, I would of course welcome him here, ”domenicali Vettel indirectly explained a job offer. "But we know that after the season he wants to sort himself out and enjoy time with his family."

Job offer for Vettel: eco-minister in Formula 1?
In fact, Vettel had announced that he wanted to spend more time with his family in the future.
The father of three children had assured that he would not seek any other position in Formula 1 after the end of his driver's career.
Above all, the Hessian ruled out a role as a TV expert.
Instead, Vettel wants to increase its commitment to protecting the climate and the environment and other social issues.

According to Sport Bild
, Vettel would
not be averse to a career in sports politics.
The 35-year-old will not sit idly by and watch the planet decay; on the contrary, he wants to make a difference.
As a kind of eco-minister, Vettel could therefore realize his ideas for a climate-neutral Formula 1.

Vettel is committed to the environment and climate - also in Formula 1?
Vettel has long been a thorn in the side of the wasteful use of resources in Formula 1, for example, there are still air shows before the start of some races.
His biggest concern is the switch to more climate-friendly fuel.
The premier class does not seem to be in a hurry with this plan, however, if you listen carefully to Domenicali's words.
“It makes a difference whether you have to get a single car prepared for one or two laps or 20 cars for 70 laps and a whole season.
We're not behind with technology.
On the contrary!
We're ahead of schedule!
I will definitely experience environmentally friendly fuel in Formula 1 during my lifetime," said the Formula 1 boss.
Domenicali is 57 years old.
His explanation sounds more like justification and adulation of his own work.

With Vettel and Formula 1, two contrary opinions would clash.
Whether the Heppenheimer really wants to do that seems questionable at first.
On the other hand, Vettel could play a not unimportant part in the fight against the climate crisis as "eco-minister".
First of all, after the summer break, there are still nine races on the program for Vettel, next on August 28th in Spa at the Belgian Grand Prix.
