Sebastian Vettel responds to FIA presidency question

Sebastian Vettel has addressed the possibility of a potential run for the presidency of the FIA. 

The four-time champion, who recently fully quashed rumours of a comeback to F1, has been linked with replacing Helmut Marko as Red Bull's motorsport advisor. He has not fully closed the door to replace the 82-year-old.

Concerning the FIA presidency, former F1 boss Ross Brawn once indicated Vettel would be ideal for the role.

Incumbent Mohammed Ben Sulayem is bidding for a second four-year term, but is facing a challenge from former F1 steward and official Tim Mayer.

As for Vettel, despite Brawn's once kind words, he does not see it as a possibility for now.

"I know too little about the tasks of an FIA president," Vettel told Auto Motor und Sport.

"From a Formula 1 point of view, you only see one part. I have a bit of understanding, but too little to assess that. 

"It would be dubious to say now, 'Yes, I can imagine [running for president]. 

"Ross Brawn can judge that because he had more points of contact with the FIA in his position and therefore knows which type of person is suitable for that position."
