Vettel ‘one of the most amazing people I’ve ever met’
Four-time World Champion Sebastian Vettel has been praised for his work off the track with a W Series driver describing him as “one of the most amazing people I’ve ever met.”
Having exploded onto the F1 scene more than a decade ago much of Vettel’s early reputation was based on his relentless desire to win.

In 2015, Vettel moved to Ferrari and while his time on track may not have been as successful as his Red Bull days, he began to grow a reputation for the work he does off track.
