I am not sure whether him taking a year out would have been of any benefit, even with a guarantee of a drive in 2022. He still loves the sport no doubt and would have hated being on the sidelines like that. When the Aston Martin offer came up, there was no chance of him taking up Marko’s offer.
That said it had been previously hinted that there would have been no chance of Vettel return to RBR, so it does make you wonder what was going on
