Four-time Formula 1 World Champion Sebastian Vettel is making a highly anticipated return to the track as he prepares to compete in the 2025 Race of Champions (ROC). The German motorsport legend, who retired from Formula 1 at the end of the 2022 season, will team up with fellow former F1 driver Mick Schumacher, forming an exciting German duo for the prestigious racing event.
Vettel, a fan-favorite since his F1 debut in 2007, remains the youngest-ever F1 World Champion, securing his first title at just 23 years old with Red Bull Racing. Over the years, he cemented his legacy by clinching four consecutive championships between 2010 and 2013. Since stepping away from F1, Vettel has been actively engaged in environmental advocacy, often using his platform to raise awareness about sustainability and climate change.
Vettel’s Exciting Racing Return in Sydney
For fans who have missed seeing Vettel in action, the upcoming Race of Champions provides a golden opportunity to watch him compete once again. The event is set to take place on March 7 and 8, 2025, in Sydney, Australia, marking the first time it will be held in the country. The venue for the thrilling contest is the former Olympic Stadium, which promises to deliver an electrifying atmosphere for both drivers and spectators.
Vettel will be pairing up with Mick Schumacher, son of the legendary seven-time F1 World Champion Michael Schumacher. The duo has previously raced together in the Race of Champions, representing Germany and continuing a legacy that Michael Schumacher once shared with Vettel himself.
Speaking about his return to racing, Vettel expressed his excitement about competing again and reuniting with Schumacher. In a statement made back in October when the event was first announced, he said:
“I’m delighted to be coming back to the Race of Champions and teaming up with Mick again. It will be exciting to race in the former Olympic Stadium in Sydney that looks like it will be a great venue for the Race of Champions.”
The Race of Champions is known for bringing together some of the biggest names in motorsport, allowing drivers from different disciplines to compete head-to-head in identical machinery. This year’s event will feature Valtteri Bottas, a former Mercedes F1 driver who has embraced the Australian lifestyle after spending much time in the country.
A Legacy of Excellence Continues
Vettel and Schumacher have previously competed as a team in the Nations Cup portion of the Race of Champions, an event that tests both teamwork and individual skill. Their participation in the upcoming edition will undoubtedly generate excitement among motorsport enthusiasts, as fans will once again witness the German racing heritage in action.
The Race of Champions offers Vettel a chance to showcase his skills in a competitive yet fun environment, and his partnership with Mick Schumacher adds an extra layer of nostalgia and anticipation. With some of the world’s best drivers confirmed for the event, the 2025 Race of Champions is shaping up to be an unmissable spectacle for racing fans worldwide.
