Four times world champion Sebastian Vettel talks about his hectic life as an F1 driver and recalls a funny incident with a police officer.
Aston Martin driver Sebastian Vettel is no stranger to incidents. As a four times world champion, he is also one of the most likeable and funniest guys on the grid.
However, the life of a Formula One driver is a really hectic and difficult one. They stay far away from their families travelling around the globe.
It is one of the reasons why Vettel announced his retirement from the sport. He wants to spend time with his children as they are growing up and would like to contribute to the family.
Why does Sebastian Vettel enjoy a boring life instead of an interesting F1 one?
