Fernando Alonso Reveals Exclusive Sebastian Vettel Privilege Held by Lewis Hamilton

There are two lifestyle options in this world. The first is having a sizable friend group, while the second is having a small group of acquaintances. It appears that the four-time winner subscribes to the second idea. Sebastian Vettel is quite reserved around his friends, despite being one of the most well-known F1 drivers in history. However, according to double champion Fernando Alonso, the German driver has granted Lewis Hamilton the unique right to remain alongside him at all times.

Sebastian Vettel had no social media profile up to the final year of his F1 career. Only to declare his retirement, he made an Instagram account. In an effort to maintain consistency, he occasionally posts on that social media account. However, it is clear that he lacks social media skills and would rather carry on in the same way. He values some people, nevertheless, without a doubt. So it is at least reasonable to believe that Vettel would stay in touch with his contemporaries given his small social group.

The revelation that Sebastian Vettel can only be reached by Hamilton comes from Stoffel Vandoorne, a former teammate of Fernando Alonso at McLaren. Vandoorne claimed that he had previously contacted the Spaniard to inquire about Vettel’s contact information, where the double champion said, as quoted by GPfans.com, “I don’t have that, only Lewis [Hamilton] has his number”.
