Seb is known for his paddock antics
Sebastian Vettel is one of the wittiest, fun-loving, and kind-hearted persons in F1, as claimed by many. A few months ago, during the rain-soaked Bahrain GP, he engaged in some paddock-side football with Mick Schumacher. Also, his witty answers in the F1 podcasts and ‘Grill the Grid’ interviews are so hilarious, fans get a good laugh out of them.
German by birth, Sebastian Vettel has a talent for picking up accents by listening to the local people wherever he travels during a Formula One season. Fans have even put together a video compilation where Vettel does the Texan accent, then he imitates Kimi Raikkonen, talks in Sir Jackie Stewart’s Scottish accent, and many moremore.
