The Yas Marina Circuit is all set to say goodbye to Vettel and Schumacher as one retires from the sport while the other lost his seat to Nico Hulkenberg at Haas. As the drivers get behind the wheel one last week, their bromance made fans react online. The reactions came pouring in when they saw Vettel make eye contact with Schumacher.
In a video posted by Formula 1’s official Twitter handle, the Aston Martin driver pulled up his visor to look at the Haas driver and made eye contact with him. Schumacher also looked at Seb and pointed at him from the sidelines.

As a matter of fact, Vettel had a great relationship with Mick’s father, Michael Schumacher. The former Red Bull star has been a long-time admirer of the Ferrari legend, who he also saw as a mentor.

All in all, Vettel had a great career in Formula 1, spanning over 15 years. He picked up 4 driver’s titles as well as 53 race wins, which is the third-highest in the sport. Compared to him, Mick Schumacher’s career in F1 stopped very soon, just after two years on the American team.
