Starting with RedBull, through Ferrari and now Aston Martin, Vettel admits that F1 life has its advantages. “Sure there are many beautiful things that I have experienced in my job or in my life, but the most important thing is that I fell in love with driving the most.”

Lando Norris agrees with the champion. “We just see ourselves as drivers and normal people who are here to do what we do, and like Seb said, we’ve been doing it since we started just because we love it.”

Norris also added that there is only one thing that differentiates drivers from their fans. “We can just drive a car a little better than them.”
