@Toasted' Nugget_' did you see the 2010 season before saying Vettel only won because of the car ? No doubt Nando did a great job 2012 but its pretty ironic that you say Lewis didn't win just because of the car but Seb did. Using arguments that fit your narrative, go watch 2010 season. (Fernando is still a better driver than Seb imo)

Yeah he'd never be a presenter. I'm sure he'd probably stick around as some sort of advisory role as a thing on the side but I imagine he'll focus on his other ventures

[@ellis1034]

He’s actually said multiple times that when he retires he plans to take a long break from everything f1. He said he doesn’t want to follow it closely if he can’t drive. And only after a few years or so come back to it so that everything feels fresh and new again.
