The 4-time world champion: “I thank everyone, especially the fans. Difficult decision, I’ll be a dad and think about what to do in the future”
He wore the world championship crown four times, won 53 grands prix, the third all-time driver to be on the top step of the podium and has now decided to bid farewell to the top category of motoring. Sebastian Vettel has just said: “Over the past 15 years I have had the privilege of working with so many fantastic people in Formula 1, too many to list them all. For the past two years I have been a driver for the Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant team and, although our results were not as good as hoped, it seems clear to me that we have prepared everything to compete at the highest levels in the years to come – said Vettel, thanking all his colleagues -. The decision to retire was difficult and I thought about long. At the end of the year I will take some time to reflect on what to focus on in the future. Clearly, as a father, I will want to spend more time with my family. But today it is not about saying goodbye. I rather want to thank everyone, especially the fans , without whose passionate support Formula 1 could not exist “.
