Sebastian Vettel is now mentioned as a possible driver for 2021 on as many as three different teams, but there is still a chance that he will hang his helmet on the willows, even if it may be temporary. In any case, he doesn't see himself fulfilling one role: TV analyst.

Many of his colleagues have preceded him. The most famous and recent example is Nico Rosberg, who now does Sky Sports analyses for both German and English. He also has his own Youtube channel.

Especially in broadcasts on British television we see a large club of former F1 drivers doing analyses or even commenting. Martin Brundle is now more famous in that role than he ever was as a driver. In front of the camera of the same Sky, Vettel has strong doubts if he is suitable for that role.

Vettel has a long list of things he wants to do

"I don't see myself as a TV expert. I like to talk, but I don't know if I'm in the right place. I think it's much easier to answer questions than to ask them and have a conversation. That's not easy, you have to prepare well."

"I also have a long list of things I want to do. I don't have time for everything and that list only gets longer. Now that I have three kids, it doesn't get any easier to get rid of that list."
