With this gnomic utterance Sebastian Vettel introduces a glossily shot video produced by Aston Martin to mark his departure from F1. As the Hans Zimmer-esque soundtrack soars to a pinnacle of glassy strings undercut by a persistent bass clef rumbling, the impression is one of a driver thoughtfully shimmying out of the door, shrouded in a fog of aphorisms.
How to parse this apparently profound and yet profoundly counter-intuitive statement? During what we might call the third phase of his F1 career Vettel underwent another transformation, into what some may call a ‘social justice warrior’. But here’s the thing: he doesn’t care what label you might want to apply to his activism. Neither does he expect any of his now former colleagues and rivals to espouse the same causes he has championed.
CoddersF1 But whenever he gets more than 30 seconds to talk like he did on question time, its just generalities and platitudes. Doesn't really know much, which is weird.
CoddersF1 He has the presence and the right persona at this stage of his life to appreciate how he can help to better this world.
CoddersF1 He couldn't make headlines with his driving anymore so had to find something else to keep him relevant

CoddersF1 He certainly became a highly suggestive bandwaggoner for other people's agendas, it's true.
CoddersF1 Perhaps family and leaving a better world for his children?
At least he left F1 and he can freely start his political campaign anywhere. Now, let's wait for so called 7 times world champion to do the same so he can use other platforms to show his political view. Remember, F1 is the stage of sport action. Not political action
CoddersF1 So glad he is gone from F1. One more woke wanker to go and F1 might return to normal again.
CoddersF1 I kinda liked the arrogant guy that won races better, but to each his own...
