i don't think you understand how insane sebastian vettel's legacy is
this guy got the first pole and first win for both toro rosso and red bull—mind you, toro rosso got their first win before red bull and this guy was responsible for both that, and he won these only a year apart
i really thought this was just some cute pictures of lewis with coco but then i find out this was him sneaking out of a hotel when he was trying to win nicole back in 2013
HE BROUGHT HIS DOG WHEN HE WAS TRYING TO WIN BACK HIS EX
"on behalf of the bbc, for the most number of helmet changes in one formula one season"
"really? i'm really proud of that"
"why do you change your helmet so much?"
"to get this award"
so sebastian vettel got asked after he won his first race in the 2008 italian grand prix if it was the greatest moment of his life and this boy answered—
“you obviously weren’t there when i lost my virginity”
he's always been a pr nightmare since day one
saw an "f1 most aura moments" slideshow in tiktok (this was michael arriving at the grid during the 2002 us gp) and i just had to see it for myself
checks out
i'm gonna need all those people who asked "why vettel?" when it was announced he will be driving senna's car to come out here and tell me right in my face that he just drove this car for the sake of it and not because he actually care about honoring both senna and ratzenberger
"i don't think it's a secret that both of us are somewhat special in the category of car racing, and we have already proven this in various areas several times."
oh the way sebastian is just looking at michael, like those words means so much to him. they are my roman empire fr
the fernando clip by itself will always be funny to me but the clip leading to that, which is sebastian celebrating his third title by doing that move on top of his car, makes it infinitely funnier
how sebastian vettel walked into formula one and set the record for receiving the fastest penalty in the history of the sport for speeding in the pit lane, 6 seconds into his f1 career
- no cursing on radios
- sim racing bedtime
- more sprint races
- spa and zandvoort alternating
they‘re trying to get max verstappen to leave the damn sport 😭
not prince albert literally doing a double take because he noticed it was sebastian in front of him 😭 he went to dap him up too but seb went for a handshake lol
that time sebastian vettel said fuck celebrations through barriers and fuck the fia and ran to his mechanics to celebrate his back-to-back world championship with all of them
"when sebastian's around, there's usually a camera gone missing and it's not found until the end of the session or he's taken a load of pictures with it...that are not publishable" — mark thompson
all i can think about is sebastian calling michael back in 2009 to ask him about tips on how to drive around a certain sector in suzuka and michael just straight up told him that he just goes as fast as he can and that's it
of course seb did as he was told and he won
when norbert vettel was interviewed after sebastian won his first world championship and he was asked if witnessing that was the proudest moment of his life, he said
it was a good moment, yes, but the best one was sebastian being born and watching him win was only second to that
lewis helping out and commenting on how small sebastian's hands are, sebastian answering "you know what they say about people with small hands", camera cutting away from the room and that innuendo but not the audio cutting off and we hear lewis answer "small gloves"—that's cinema
prior the start of the 2011 turkish grand prix, sebastian vettel was told that if he ever won the race, he was to not drink champagne on the podium since türkiye's new legal drinking age was 24—he was 23 then
well
cackling at the fact that during the next race after this, horner had seb and mark talk in his office to clear the air out
afterward, seb came out saying he felt much better but mark came out of the office and asked where seb was because he wanted to hit the little shit
one thing you got to have respect sebastian vettel for is his genuine interest and knowledge of the sport. he's got a problem with the tyres? best believe he'll take that up to pirelli (mario isola, racing manager) himself and make his case
andres bonifacio rejecting the draft of constitution proposed by edilberto evangelista in the imus assembly and outright saying it was plagiarized (even dropping the name of the person it was copied from) is the b i g g e s t m o o d
and people still believe he was illiterate??
