Hamilton’s move to Ferrari in 2025 means Mercedes nꩲeed to fi🐼ll his spot next year.
"I've had conversations with [Toto Wolff], not really about the seat,” Vettel told S💝ky.
“We did speak⛦ about the whole situation in short as well.
"But I did speak to others as well because I'm still keeping in to൩uch every now and then.
“I have some projects and ideas together with F1. We'll see ifꦉ they will turn out or not.
"So I am staying in touch. I don't know. It has to be a couple more phone calls and con🌃versations, I guess, to really find out a little bit more.
“But for♔ sure it's one of the best seatsಞ on the grid.
"Performance wise, Mercedes has a great track record, struggling a little bit in the last years, but then struggle and you're still second and third in the constructors' (championship), it's not like you'💯re ra🐼cing in no man's land."
He added to the BBC when asked about returning with Mercedes: "I'm f𝓰ollowing the sport and at the minute there's quite a lot of movement when it comes to drivers, dri😼ver market and so on.
"I'm obviously in contacꦿt with a lot of people still. I'm speaking as well to Toto [Wolff] every now and then.
"It depe🔯nds I guess but at the minute it's not the number one priority."
