Sebastian Vettel hilariously fails to open champagne bottle at Race of Champions

4-time Formula 1 world champion Sebastian Vettel should know a thing or two about opening champagne bottles but it appears as though his knowledge deserted him at the Race of Champions over the weekend.

The Aston Martin star is inside the top 5 all-time race winners list in Formula 1, thanks to his dominant spell between 2010 and 2013, and in that time he certainly got used to spraying the bubbly.
