Vettel keeps amazing fans with his gestures of kindness, and sometimes, just being a good Samaritan. He once stayed back after the race and collected garbage from stands at the Silverstone. After the conclusion of the 2019 Chinese Grand Prix, he was stopped by the fans on the road to click some photos. He saw that it was too dark to take pictures and repositioned his Ferrari to point the headlights toward fans to take pictures.
