Vettel is committed: “Michael (Schumacher; d. Red.) Is my hero. So I don’t want Lewis to trump him. ”
The German doesn’t want to be misunderstood: “Both would deserve the title, both had a strong season. And even if Lewis becomes world champion, it won’t change anything for me. He can win one, two or three more titles, Michael remains the greatest for me. Still, of course, I don’t want him to be ousted from the throne. “
Vettel wants Max Verstappen as the new Formula 1 world champion
It must be all the more emotional for Vettel that he will compete in the Race of Champions together with Schumi’s son Mick at the beginning of 2022. “Of course I wish Michael could watch us. But I would probably tell him now anyway to let his son go first, ”laughs the Hessian.
From the Race of Champions in the snow of Sweden back to the Abu Dhabi desert. Not only Hamilton can push Schumacher off the pedestal, Verstappen can also take a record from Vettel by winning the title. The Heppenheimer would then no longer be the only driver to become world champion with Red Bull. “I don’t care,” says the Aston Martin star. “On the contrary: from the teams’ point of view, I feel closer to Red Bull than Mercedes.”
Clear words from Sebastian Vettel.
