As many would agree, it doesn’t take a lot for Sebastian Vettel to give joy to his fans. Despite not being on social media platforms, new or old, funny or intense pictures of the Aston Martin driver are always doing the rounds on his many fan accounts. Fans miss no Seb news, wanting to keep up with the German driver always.

Currently driving for the English team Aston Martin, the driver is often spotted promoting his team’s campaigns. On what is a very special occasion for the team, Seb’s presence was a necessity to celebrate the British outfit in style.

He drove the very first Aston Martin Grand Prix car, ‘Green Pea’. However, what’s more fascinating is that fans saw Seb dressed up almost like a proper Englishman. Twitter found the driver’s outfit really endearing and likened it to the fashion of the famed series “Peaky Blinders.” It was possibly the patch flat cap that did it for them, as they went erratic on the social media platform!

However, this is not the first time the German driver has shocked everyone with his attire. Vettel likes to make a statement with his outfit whenever he’s traveling to the paddock.

Sebastian Vettel drives the historical ‘Green Pea’

What is the car that Seb drove for his Silverstone-based team? It’s called the TT1. The car undoubtedly has a remarkable history, making its debut in July 1922 at the French Grand Prix at Strasbourg. The TT1 and TT2 ran in fifth and sixth places before an engine blowout caused their early retirements.

Later on, a young RAF Corporal Neil Murray bought it. The car has since been a part of his family. The team brought out the historically rich car on the same track it debuted on 100 years apart. And who better to drive it but a four-time world champion himself?
