Reality Starts to Sink in for the 4x World Champion Sebastian Vettel as He Approaches the Inevitable End: “It Will Get a Little Bit More Difficult…”

Sebastian Vettel chose 28th July 2022 as the date to announce his retirement. Since then, he received many requests to either not leave the sport or come back after a few years. It’s certain that the fans are going to miss the gentlemen of the sport. Since July, fans showered the German driver with love and now, before his last race at Abu Dhabi, Seb found himself in possibly one of his last fan interactions in the paddock.

Vettel won all his championships with Red Bull from 2010 to 2013. During his illustrious career, he won 53 Grand Prix, which is the third highest in Formula 1 history. The 122 times podium winner has decided to hang up his helmet after the season finale of 2022. The decision to retire was one of the toughest for the F1 Titan and the adoration of the fans was making it much harder for him to bid farewell to the sport.

Ahead of his swan song on Sunday, the 4 time world champion was surrounded by his fans in the final Fan Zone. Sebastian Vettel was amazed by looking at the support he was getting. He said, “It does feel a little bit different yesterday was nice with all the drivers, I didn’t expect to see so many signs, so many people, so much support, flags.”

“So… It will get a little bit more difficult on Sunday but I’m looking forward to it.”
