“Time goes by, even if, paradoxically, it seems to stand still in Formula 1 with certain things or opinions. When I’m on the road now, I notice things that I never noticed before. ”Vettel tells of a Eureka moment he had at the airport. As he just strolled around, he realized the sheer number of people on the planet, each with their own stories to tell.
At that moment of realization, another followed. “How absurd it is sometimes to take yourself so seriously and think that this should be everything. In this context, my problems are probably all luxury problems. “
Vettel’s crusade for change therefore goes beyond the limits of the racetrack, for which the German has a real passion.
