1. Vettel’s retirement
On Thursday morning of the Hungarian GP, it was announced that Sebastian Vettel leaves Aston Martin at the end of 2022. Right after the race, we learned that Fernando Alonso will replace the four-time world champion German driver by joining Aston Martin in 2023 on multi-year contract. With four championship titles and 53 victories to his name, Sebastian Vettel is undoubtedly one of the most successful drivers of Formula 1 history.
Vettel enjoyed a pretty special farewell during his last race. On Friday evening of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the German driver invited the paddock to join him on track for a group run. Everyone wore a “Danke Seb” T-shirt, meanwhile Vettel had one that read “Danke F1”. Moreover, Lewis Hamilton organized a dinner for all drivers on the grid to celebrate the retirement of Sebastian Vettel.
But was it really the last race for Sebastian Vettel in Formula 1? Well, let’s wait and see.
