For some reason, we love hearing our favorite race car drivers or athletes talk about themselves, what they like and dislike and so on. It’s probably because we enjoy getting to know the people that we look up to.
If you’re looking for a role model in motor sports or just somebody to cheer for in any type of sport for that matter, you can do a lot worse than a four time champion. In fact, Vettel is currently tied for 3rd place all-time thanks to his 4 Titles – as many as Alain Prost, one less than Fangio and 3 fewer than Michael Schumacher.
Listening to Sebastian answering questions, among other things, we’ve learned that he’s looking forward to being the one that ‘resurrects’ Ferrari in Formula 1 and that he feels like he’s matured past the point of having a different helmet design every race. He’s sticking with one design which we’ll see when the cars take center stage at Melbourne.
Something that we found particularly interesting was the way his expression changed the moment he started to really drive that FXX K, instead of just cruising around talking to the camera. It must be quite a change from having to drive all those Infiniti cars during his time with Red Bull. Some cars you just take as serious as you would a Grand Prix car. The $2.7 million, 1,050 PS LaFerrari-based FXX K Hypercar is certainly one of them.
