Sebastian Vettel, a detail triggers Ferrari fans

Sebastian Vettel, former Ferrari driver and four-time Formula 1 world champion, made a surprise appearance at the Milan Cortina 2026 Olympics. Not as the star of a competition, but as a spectator. His presence did not go unnoticed, especially for a small detail that did not escape the attention of Ferrari fans.

During his stay in Cortina, Vettel was spotted with a pass identifying him as a participant in the event, but with a featured photo that surprised everyone: an old picture of him from 2018, when he was racing with Ferrari. The gesture was not just nostalgia, but a way to remember his connection with the team that saw him star for six seasons, collecting an impressive 14 red-colored victories.

That photo, a small detail that caught the’attention on social media, ignited a wave of emotions among Ferrari fans. A sign that shows that Vettel has never forgotten his roots and love for the Rossa, but at the same time he wanted to use this opportunity to bring a message of sustainability, a topic that is very close to his heart.

The photo was taken at the end of the race.

However, during his visit to Cortina, Vettel also had the opportunity to meet Stefano Domenicali, CEO of F1, with whom he spent the morning, enjoying the competitions of the Olympic athletes together. A meeting that has a bit of a throwback feel to it. Despite his retirement and new challenges away from the circuits, Vettel has never forgotten the Rossa.

The years he lived with the Ferrari have deeply marked his career and his life. The four-time world champion has always spoken with respect and affection about the Maranello-based team. That bond built season after season has never been broken. And beyond the results, there will forever remain a direct thread between Vettel and Ferrari, a team that will always have a special place in his heart.
