Ever since Sebastian Vettel parted ways with F1, there has been a gaping hole in the community. Fans reminisce about the driver to this day, and now, it seems like Red Bull may have just answered some prayers.
In a cryptic Instagram post, the team teased ‘big news’ – Vettel’s return to Red Bull. The post featured a man in F1 overall, clutching a helmet with the German flag. If that wasn’t enough, a single peek of blonde curls in the post was enough to grab everyone’s attention.

As F1 engines will reverberate around the Nürburgring after a decade, Sebastian Vettel will return home, quite literally, to play a part. Throwing on Red Bull overalls, the Golden Boy will accompany his fellow prodigal son, Daniel Ricciardo at the event.
Not will this be an exciting day for Red Bull fans, but also for the F1 community. Witnessing Vettel back behind the wheels of an F1 car, on his home circuit, in his legendary Red Bull look- it will be a sight to behold.
Fans roll the red carpet for Sebastian Vettel
Before the announcement was made, fans were already prepared for the big news. The teaser was enough to get fans all riled up. In fact, a fan was so excited, they threatened to sue the team for “emotional damages” should they fail to fulfill their promise.

On the other hand, a fan had to get the others to “wake the f*ck up” before they missed the big news.

If Vettel gets back in a Red Bull, but wearing his post-Red Bull era helmet, does that rip a hole in the universe? https://t.co/XFwbNHGgMK

Red Bull takes us back to 2014
In more exciting news, Vettel will join his 2014 teammate, Daniel Ricciardo, at the event. Another fan favorite, Ricciardo also closed his doors to F1 along with Vettel, but partially.
Vettel was always sad to have to leave the sport without one last run in Germany. Looks like Red Bull is answering a lot of prayers in making this possible. Additionally, we get to see Ricciardo back behind a Red Bull as well! As the two buds reunite to live out the good ol’ days, it will be an event worth witnessing.
Now, the duo returns home. The return of Red Bull Seb and Danny Ric has fans crying with excitement. Time travel truly is possible, thanks to Red Bull.
