In his words, Grosjean described the visit of the current Aston Martin F1 Racing Team driver Sebastian Vettel. The former Haas driver said it was everyone’s special. He believes Sebastian Vettel has a very similar life story to his and that is why he has a good relationship with the German driver.
Vettel’s visit to the hospital immediately after Grosjean had suffered one of the worst F1 accidents in recent times shows his friendly and loving manner. Vettel is known among all drivers as one of the most honorable men in the sport and has already had his good-natured side to his fans several times shown.
While every single F1 driver prayed for Grosjean’s well-being that fateful night, Vettel went out of his way to go there and let him know they were all by his side. Not only Vettel, three other drivers paid a visit to the current driver who dares to venture into the IndyCar scene in the USA.
When Seb was visiting, Grosjean tweeted: “On Monday, November 30th, I woke up at six in the morning. Someone came very early and rather unexpectedly: Sebastian Vettel. He was worried about me. “(Translated with Google Translate)
