Max Verstappen has revealed that there is "always a space" at Red Bull for Sebastian Vettel to return to the team possibly in an advisory role.
The reigning World Champion dismissed speculation about Vettel replacing enigmatic figure Helmut Marko, and admitted that he occasionally seeks advice from the former four-time champion himself.
Speaking to the media at the Mexico City Grand Prix, Verstappen said: "There is always a space, I would say.
"We obviously know how good Seb was in his career. I think, obviously, what he has achieved is really amazing.
"I think, of course, at some point, he will be involved again in Formula 1 in some way or another.
"And, yeah, obviously, he has a history with Red Bull. So, I think for us, it's nice to have him around, and, of course, at some point, when he decides to stop, then he maybe will be nicer to have him closer to the team."
Verstappen also spoke about his own relationship with Vettel, stating that the German is always there to offer advice when needed.
"I think obviously at the moment he's focusing on other things, different projects, which he will sort out and figure out when he's ready for it," he said.
"But, for myself, I've always had a very nice relationship with him.
"Even when we were racing together, we always had respect for each other.
"And even now, if I need something, I know that I can always approach him, and he will come to me as well with advice and things like that."
