I love it, and every time I step in the car I love it,” he said during the May television appearance.

He has become more outspoken in his activism in recent months, wearing shirts supporting marriage equality and taking action to curb global warming. But Vettel is more than a driver. When it comes to Formula 1, Sebastian Vettel’s name is right up there among the legends.
Sebastian Vettel has backed Haas driver Mick Schumacher to replace him at Aston Martin when he retires at the end of this season.
"We need to start to speak to Gene about it and talk through the different scenarios of what we are going to do. Schumacher currently drives for Haas but is not contracted to the team beyond the end of this year. "We did have a very, very brief chat about what might be next.
Haas' Mick Schumacher makes the short list of Formula 1 drivers who could be a fit at Aston Martin in 2023.
Haas has spent 18 months getting Schumacher to this stage and is not keen on starting from zero with another driver. But unlike Ferrari, Red Bull or Mercedes Aston Martin does not have a young driver program from which it has options to build around. It has a power unit partnership with Mercedes but, unlike Williams, that has not extended to those in the cockpit. There is no driver available who can bring the knowledge of 53 wins, four titles and 15 years of experience in leading teams to Aston Martin. Krack accepted that “the groundwork that Sebastian has done last year, and is still doing this year, is crucial” at a team that has for decades been rooted in the midfield but now has the ambition—and the finances—to fight at the front. There is also Pierre Gasly, now approaching 100 Grands Prix and a race winner, but he has a 2023 AlphaTauri contract and was firm. Ricciardo is the only other multiple race winner on the grid facing an uncertain future but both he and McLaren have been adamant that his 2023 contract with the team will be respected.
Few athletes have the good fortune of retiring before they begin to decline. Sebastian Vettel, who announced yesterday that he will retire from Formula One ...
There is admiration for his successes and amusement at his charm, and then a strange type of secondhand sadness at his failings—the sort of gross empathy that you can really only have for athletes, heroes, one and the same. But, more than anything, it will be the image of Seb after winning his fourth consecutive World Championship in India, after being booed the entire season, bearing everything that came before and everything that’s yet to come, climbing out of his car before bowing to it on his knees, the machine that carried him to victory. As for what image of Sebastian Vettel will stick with me—the 2018 German Grand Prix will, yes, and the sense memory of something slipping out from your grasp. Over the course of a long, storied career, Vettel has embodied every single part of F1. He has won and kept winning until it seemed like he might never lose again, until he did lose, and then it seemed like he would never be able to clamber back to where he once stood. Vettel, at the peak of his dominance, spent most of the 2013 season being viciously booed—a rarity in F1—until he won in India. He was a pest, annoying, arrogant. And then—you guessed it—he won the next one in 2013, clinching the championship in India with three races left in the season. In 2010 and 2012, Vettel didn’t win the championship until the last race of the season. Not that Vettel spent the entirety of his Ferrari tenure losing. Then he won the next one in 2011, and became the youngest ever to win two. If you were to pinpoint a year in the early 2010s, before hybrid engines came in and issued in a Mercedes dynasty, you would not guess that Lewis Hamilton would define their era of racing. And then he won the next one, in 2012. Vettel didn’t allow room for speculation of that sort—he became the youngest polesitter and youngest race winner in F1 history when he was 21 (Max Verstappen now holds the record for youngest race winner) while at Toro Rosso, Red Bull’s B-team. After Pierre Gasly won the Italian Grand Prix in 2020, the first Red Bull sister team win since Vettel won at the very same race 12 years ago, Vettel called Gasly and reminded him—in the midst of some of the toughest years in Gasly’s career—that the last person to do that went on to win four consecutive World Championships, one of many marks that Vettel has left on younger drivers.
The four-time champion spoke on his mindset entering the next chapter of his life ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Should the day come that he’s wanting for a hit of adrenaline, a number of racing teams would certainly be happy to oblige him, even on just a sporadic occurrence. But to me voice and reach have never been at the foreground, it has always been sort of the message, because it’s what I really believe in.” “What hurts me is that people like George [Russell], Lando [Norris], Charles [Leclerc], Max [Verstappen] – they don’t have the same freedoms as maybe Lewis [Hamilton] and I had. I think that would be the wrong motivator. And I think for every sportsman and woman probably the biggest challenge is waiting for us once we decide to do other things. “In all honesty, I’m also scared of what’s coming, because it might be a hole.
Back in 2016, Sebastian Vettel ran into a problem. The former four-time World Champion had made a swap to the Prancing Horse, but his Ferrari was eternally ...
In the same way he could laugh at a fan teasing him, he’s been able to look at his career and his place in the world and use what he learned to change his ways. When he signed the flag, Vettel made a face, then laughed and told me he liked my sunglasses. So I ordered a tiny blue flag off the internet and brought it with me to the Ferrari autograph session during the race weekend. If you receive a blue flag in racing, that means you’re slower than the car behind you and need to move over. At the US GP, autograph sessions took place in something of a mosh pit: Fans squished against a metal barrier, and F1 drivers were paraded behind it for about five minutes at a time, signing autographs. The former four-time World Champion had made a swap to the Prancing Horse, but his Ferrari was eternally subject to what he considered to be some ill-timed blue flag maneuvers.
