“I’m delighted that Mick will be joining me at the Race Of Champions again – for my first race since my retirement from Formula 1,” Sebastian Vettel confirmed – “Neither of us has much experience on snow and ice so it was a steep learning curve in Sweden earlier this year. I ended up surprising myself by getting to the individual final against Sébastien Loeb and now I can’t wait to come back and team up with Mick to see if we can take Team Germany all the way to another ROC Nations Cup title.” – he added.
The 2023 Race of Champions is scheduled to take place in Sweden on the weekend of 28th-29th January.
