[@spec10]

We get to see the races, get a glimpse behind the scenes here and there every now and then in little bits an pieces. But what we don't get to really grasp is that those people, the drivers, mechanics, engineers, strategists and everyone involved in running a racing team, spend years of their lives together traveling the world, aiming to make that car cross the finish line in front of as many other cars as possible every race week. Seb's goodbye in particular in my opinion shows extremely well how much we don't get to see and how how dramatized things can appear to us as fans, when in reality there's so much more beyond what we see.
