Four-time world champion says goodbye to F1

At the end of the last race in his Formula 1 career, four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel spoke his heart out to Jenson Button’s microphones.

“I would have liked to score a few more points but I enjoyed this race, there was a little different warm-up today to get to the race, but once the lights go out you only think about the race. We didn’t choose the best strategy today, and that was a shame because I think we could have gained a position in the constructors’ championship, but overall it was a great day. We lost positions as the tires got older, but once we chose to make a stop we couldn’t change. It’s never pleasant when you lose so many positions, I was having some good battles and I was getting close to Ricciardo in the final as well, but that’s okay. me and him going to the points is a good conclusion. Actually I have nothing else to say, it was a great weekend but I can only repeat myself,” explained the Aston Martin driver.

“The last two years have perhaps been disappointing from a sporting point of view, but very useful and important for my life. So many things have happened that I’ve realized, it’s a tremendous privilege to be in the position we’re in but that also comes with responsibilities. I hope to be able to pass them on to the other riders as well so that we can carry on the work we have done. It’s good to see that we have the power to inspire them with what we say and do, and I think there are more important things than racing. Hopefully we can transfer more important values. The last few years have been great, and I am grateful to all of you for the messages, letters and all the love you have given me. I will miss it all, but it has been a joy to live this career, thank you very much,” Sebastian Vettel concluded.
