Brain Surgeon Sebastian Vettel Has His Grey’s Anatomy Moment as Strange Pictures Circulate the Internet

Sebastian Vettel has recently been seen in a different profession that’s way different than being a motorsport driver. The four-time F1 world champion looked entirely unrecognizable as he donned the attire of a medical individual in Germany.

The retired Formula 1 driver took the role of a surgeon in Karlsruhe, Germany, after Uwe Spetzger, the Head of Neurosurgeon of the local Municipal Clinic, invited him.

Notably, special guests can be a part of a once-a-month opportunity that is given to an individual. This is done to give insights into the work done in a clinic by surgeons.

This time, it was the 35-year-old driver’s turn as he became a “brain surgeon for a day.” Interestingly, Vettel revealed that he was looking most of the time, to which the doctor had a “Grey’s Anatomy” reference

Fans react as Vettel’s appearance got a Grey’s Anatomy reference

As the former Red Bull champion was a surgeon for a day, his visit got the popular American drama series comparison. Talking about this, Spetzer revealed, “Anyone who can see Grey’s Anatomy can stand it.”

As soon as this went online, fans reacted to it on social media. Given below are some of the reactions taken from Twitter:

@formullana had a dig on Vettel’s employment.

@askolatte wants to hide Vettel’s identity.

@rkcullengirl had a fine way of pointing Vettel out.

Sebastian Vettel and his urge to learn something new

The former German driver has always been a man who loves to learn new things. With this unique knack, as happened on the surgeon day, he noticed the defining similarities between being a surgeon and a motorsport driver.

Speaking about it, the German shared, as per Neueste Nachrichten, “You need to have confidence in yourself and your craft and enjoy your job. With that comes the accuracy and the will to get better.”

“Unfortunately, this is often underestimated. In sport, as in life, it always takes more than one person,” further asserted Sebastian Vettel.

When asked if he would take the job full-time, Vettel said the craft is very exciting. But he would have to sit on the bench for too long and learn it.
