Ferrari being ferrari, then there's RB giving perez 5second pitstops plus he falls asleep at the wheel wow

Shame Alonsos car can't be better :(

Alonso is straight fucking w the front runners. All he can do from the midfield.

Meanwhile Esteban is quietly outperforming him in the same car and putting up respectable points/finishes.

Anything related to Porsche/Audi/VW (VAG) in F1, I'll believe it when I see it lol

Would've been nice to see them go with Williams and bring that team back from the dead

Vettel retiring end of the season

Quote:

I hereby announce my retirement from Formula One by the end of the 2022 season.

Probably I should start with a long list of people to thank now. But I feel it is more important to explain the reasons behind my decision.

I love this sport, it has been central to my life since I can remember. But as much as there is life on track, there is my life off track too. Being a racing driver has never been my sole identity. I very much believe in identity by who we are and how we treat others, rather than what we do.

Who am I?

I am Sebastian, father of three children and husband to a wonderful woman. I am curious and easily fascinated by passionate or skilled people. I am obsessed with perfection. I am tolerant and feel we all have the same rights to live, no matter what we look like, where we come from and who we love.

I love being outside. I love nature and its wonders. I'm stubborn and impatient. I can be really annoying. I like to make people laugh. I like chocolate and the smell of fresh bread. My favourite colour is blue. I believe in change and progress, and that every little bit makes a difference. I am an optimist and I believe people are good.

Next to racing, I have grown a family and I love being around them. I have grown other interests outside Formula One. My passion for racing and Formula One comes with lots of time spent away from them and takes a lot of energy. Committing to my passion the way I did and the way I think it is right does no longer go side by side with my wish to be a great father and husband.

The energy it takes to become one with the car and the team, to chase perfection, takes focus and commitment. My goals have shifted from winning races and fighting for championships, to seeing my children grow, passing on my values, helping them up when they fall, listening to them when they need me, not having to say good bye, and most importantly, being able to learn from them and let them inspire me.

Children are our future. Further I feel there is so much to explore and learn, about life and about myself.

Speaking of the future, I feel we live in very decisive times and how we all shape these next years will determine our lives. My passion comes with certain aspects that I have learnt to dislike. They might be solved in the future but the will to apply that change has to grow much, much stronger, and has to be leading to action today. Talk is not enough, and we cannot afford to wait. There is no alternative. The race is underway.

My best race? Still to come.

I believe in moving forwards and moving on. Time is a one way street and I want to go with the times. Looking back is only going to slow you down.

I look forward to race down unknown tracks and I will be finding new challenges. The marks I left on track will stay until time and rain will wash them away. New ones will be put down. Tomorrow belongs to those shaping today. The next corner is in good hands, as the new generation has already turned in. I believe there is still a race to win.

Farewell, and thanks for letting me share the track with you. I loved every bit of it.

I remember disliking him cuz I supported Webber, but now I'm like :QQ:

I was really hoping Aston & Seb were frontrunner competitive this year.
If he was competing for wins I wonder if this announcement wouldn't have come.

Oh well, was cool to basically watch his entire F1 career from start to finish. Makes me feel old though.

Bah stupid restrictions, seb interview

How much do you think the personality of Lawrence Stroll and the fact Lance will always be the team # 2 had something to do with Vettel deciding now is the time to retire?

I think that it is 100 percent. The owner is always going to put his son as the number 2 even though Lance’s career so far has been lacklustre.

Seb was the only thing keeping AM alive lol

Is he a top 5 driver?

That's the happiest I've been to see a Mercedes pole position in a while!

Was hoping Alonso would pull a rabbit out of a hat, but it's nice to see something other than a ferrari/red bull out front

Wow just watched the full quali replay, I yelled out when Russell got pole! Stoked.

Happy for Lando too.

Gonna be a good race tomorrow!

Ferrari needs to fire their strategist

I watched the first 25 laps before pausing it and I figured this was going to be an easy Ferrari 1-2 then I opened up Reddit and WTF?!?!

Now I gotta watch the rest of the race out of morbid curiosity.

Go Max!

Ferrari should just quit
