Sebastian Vettel on what's keeping him in F1

HOCKENHEIM, Germany -- Sebastian Vettel will remain in Formula One as long as he is still enjoying driving and is motivated by the challenge of returning Ferrari to the top of the sport.

Following a series of mistakes that stretch back to last year's German Grand Prix 12 months ago, doubts have been cast over Vettel's future in the sport. At Hockenheim last year, Vettel spun out of a comfortable lead and since that race has only won one grand prix.

Mistakes ultimately brought an end to his championship hopes in 2018 and this year he has continued to make high-profile errors in races, including a spin from a race-winning position in Bahrain, a mistake while leading the race in Canada that ultimately cost him victory and his collision with Max Verstappen at the last round in Silverstone.
