WATCH: Vettel’s awkward joke ends in silence during the Monaco GP F1 press conference


WATCH: Vettel's awkward joke ends in silence during the Monaco GP F1 press conference

Sebastian Vettel proves his status as an extremely funny driver several times. There comes a time, however, when a comedian’s jokes go flat. The German driver experienced such a moment during the pre-race press conference for the Monaco GP. Unfortunately, for him, no one really got the joke and he was disappointed.

The joke went something like this, “So there’s this match climbing the hill. It’s all sweaty because it’s exhausted. This hedgehog passes by almost on top of the hill. The match is: “Oh! If only I had known there was a bus! I would have taken the bus. ‘”

In addition to Vettel, Max Verstappen joked that the interviewer had a nice reaction to the joke. Unfortunately, Vettel was still disappointed because he was asked to tell a joke after the last press conference. Now that he had delivered as promised, the response was a little overwhelming.

Sebastian Vettel had a tough season ahead of the Monaco GP

Admittedly, the German driver moved to Aston Martin for a fresh start. This came after he suffered a nightmarish stint at Scuderia Ferrari. However, his progress in the first few races of the season was a little too slow for his liking. On the positive side, he is slowly and steadily finding his feet in the team and can keep up with teammate Lance Stroll.

Now the German driver is going to the Principality of Monaco, a route on which he has often performed well. Vettel currently has seven podiums at the Monaco GP. However, it would be presumptuous to assume that he could improve his record in this year’s race, save for something dramatic.

Until then, he’ll just focus on building the Aston Martin team. Due to his experience and technical knowledge, Sebastian Vettel will be a great asset, and he can even support Lance Stroll as a mentor. For now, Vettel will train his efforts on the Monaco Grand Prix weekend.
