Sebastian Vettel will call time on his Formula One career after Sunday’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The Aston Martin racer leaves the sport firmly established as one of its all-time greats with four world titles and 53 wins. Among the sport’s most popular drivers, Vettel took time out ahead of his swansong for an email interview with mid-day.com in an engaging exchange, he reflects on his career, his legacy and his stand on some of the most burning social issues of the day.
I think it was in Suzuka that the realisation that this is your final season sort of seemed to kick in. Is it a similar feeling this weekend? This is the last time I`m going to get into the car for practice, the last time I take part in qualifying, the last time I line up on the grid. Are you feeling that this weekend, is it a particularly emotionally charged weekend for you or is it just business as usual?
You feel it a little bit, yeah, but it’s something I’ve managed to keep to one side. I’m not really thinking too much about it. Obviously, that feeling will come to me, but I want to enjoy the weekend with the team, with my friends and family, with people from the sport that I’ve come to know; I want to get the job done properly before I look at it with any perspective, really.
