AUDIO: Vettel asking his engineer if he as enough time to pee
Sebastian Vettel hasn’t had the best of seasons behind the wheel, making crucial errors that have necessarily cost him the world championship, despite having the better car for a large part of the season.
However, Vettel’s spirit and temperament have been spot on all along. Never have we seen him fluster or blurt out stuff after a loss(that he shouldn’t have).
He has been pretty good towards Lewis and the other drivers, with the way he congratulated Hamilton after he secured his 5th title being the highlight of his ‘driver interaction’ this season.
VETTEL: “I enjoyed the session. The first run in Q3 was very close. For tomorrow, I’m quite confident – it’s a long race. It should be good fun. I’m looking forward to challenging these guys” #AbuDhabiGP 🇦🇪 #F1 pic.twitter.com/sl15sCogHK

Now, apart from how good Vettel has been off the track, he has also given us a lot of radio conversations to remember, one of which happened during qualifiying today.
Vettel wanted to go for a quick pee and asked his engineer if he had enough time to do so.
The engineer replied telling him that there were only 4 minutes to go, and Vettel quickly told him that he would try and make it then.
Vettel: “Do I have time for a quick pee?”
Engineer: “Four minutes.”
Vettel: “OK I can make it!”
Vettel: “Do I have time for a quick pee?”
Engineer: “Four minutes.”
Vettel: “OK I can make it!”#F1 #AbuDhabiGP 🇦🇪

Vettel will start in P3 tomorrow and would be hoping that the Mercedes cars run into some trouble, as from what we have seen on Friday and Saturday, it would be very difficult for Ferrari to get pas them on race day.
Check out the audio of the same.
