“I Know a Place That Sells It…”: Sebastian Vettel Reveals His Literal Secret Recipe to Becoming the Lion of Singapore

As the Singapore Grand Prix draws near, the F1 community is bubbling with anticipation. The “Lion of Singapore” Sebastian Vettel is also gearing up for his final laps around the Marina Bay circuit. But race preparation is not limited to the tracks for Vettel.

The Marina Bay track is notoriously long and difficult. Sebastian Vettel is the only driver to have mastered the circuit five times.

As the Aston Martin driver is about to retire by the end of the year, this is his last race in Singapore. There could be no better moment than to stake his name on the Marina Bay track one last time. However, Vettel revealed he had a secret ingredient to his success:

“My secret recipe, also in 2019 and 2015 and in most years I have won here, is eating Nasi Goreng on Saturday night.”

Everyone tends to have superstitions or rituals before an important match or exam. Nasi Goreng is a South Asian stir-fried rice dish in a very colorful preparation. It is definitely not the worst ritual to have.
