F1 fans have taken to social media after four-time champion Sebastian Vettel was spotted at the Monaco Grand Prix. 

Vettel headed into his retirement from the sport at the end of the 2022 season after a long and very successful career. The German driver had his F1 rookie season in 2007 with Toro Rosso before moving up to the Red Bull team in 2009, where he achieved his four consecutive championship wins. 2015 saw the driver move to Ferrari before he made the move to Aston Martin in 2021. 

The four-time champion has not confirmed what he will be doing next but many are hopeful to see him return to the sport in some capacity soon, and fans have clearly been loving seeing him make an appearance at the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend. According to our sources, he's there to talk with F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali. The subject: unknown. 

One fan took to social media about Vettel's spotting, they wrote:

"It’s the big Vettel days in Monaco today Sebastian Vettel is in the paddock and in the pitlane. He is here just for Friday, traveled by car and is here to speak among others with Stefano Domenicali!"
