Sebastian Vettel ended his career in Formula 1 and spent his last weekend, the 299th Grand Prix, in tenth. Timo Glock, a former racer and now an expert on Sky Deutschland, noted that the farewell of the four-time world champion of his favorite sport took place in a very emotional atmosphere.
“Of course he had time before the race to think about a lot. It is unlikely that he would have expected that there would be so many different exciting moments this weekend that so many people would want to show him their great respect, – said Glock. “From Fernando Alonso, wearing a helmet designed in the style that has always distinguished Vettel, and the fact that Saturday night at the Yas Marina Circuit ended beautifully with Run with Seb, in front of so many people.
All this was very emotional and moving. While Sebastian may have been trying to keep his feelings in check, I think everything that happened this weekend made a huge impression on him.
If we talk about his last race, unfortunately the team pitted too late. At the start, Vettel showed good pace, Esteban tried to attack Ocon again and again, but couldn’t get ahead – Alpine’s car was too fast on the straights. But this affected the condition of Vettel’s Aston Martin rubber: his tires were already far from being in the best condition.
It’s a bit of a shame that the team kept Sebastian on track for so long, when everyone else had already pitted, and they quickly overtook him on fresh tyres. However, I think Vettel can be called the best among the riders of the teams in the middle group.
