Hope he comes back when Audi takes over Sauber 2026. They already announced that they´d want him as their driver and I think after he had some time to collect himself after Ferrari he could be world champion material again, or at least be a supporting driver for Sainz (if I remember correctly he hasn't renewed his Ferrari contract and Ferrari announced that he'll be going to Sauber-Audi too) so he can get a WC.

Vettel’s period of dominance included two of the most competitive seasons in the history of the sport. His ability to perform under pressure during that time was astounding - especially given his age. Seeing him grow as a person over the years has been a great privilege too.

[@LS-Moto]

Ich finde man kann die nicht vergleichen. Die sind beide in ganz unterschiedlichen Zeiten gefahren, mit ganz anderen Bedingungen im Sport. Vettel kann man eher mit Lewis Hamilton vergleichen und seine Schlüsse daraus ziehen. Schumacher hatte auch vernünftige Leute um sich herum mit denen er arbeiten konnte, ähnlich wie Lewis bei Mercedes. Aktuell ist Ferrari zu einem einzigen Clown Verein verkommen, die zwar das Potential haben einen Titel zu holen, aber dann doch lieber Blödsinn machen den selbst die Experten und Moderatoren nicht mehr schön reden können. Die letzte Saison war da ein Paradebeispiel.

Sebs retirement hit home for me. When I saw that he made an Instagram account I was soo happy. But when my dad said, it seems like he has smth to announce I had a bad feeling. When he put out the message to retire mid day in Europe, I was on my way for the 24h of Spa and just started crying in a public train. See I was born in 1998 in Germany in the middle of the Schumi hype. I was brought into F1 earlier then I could speak but up until 2006 I was too young to comprehent who Michael was and what he achieved. I craved for my hero to root for. Along came Seb in 2007 and I was a fan from the first moment. I still have very living memories about China 2007 and Monza 2008. Through Seb´s career I grew from a boy to a men. And Seb was always there. I never ever questioned following or supporting him and with him becoming the personality he is now, I am very proud to say that one of the most recognizeable athletes of our time is my idol and hero. And I was there from the beginning, atleast in F1. Abu Dhabi brought me to tears several times, as his career is not just tied to his achievements on track but also core memories of my own childhood and youth life. Seb has not just racked up all this stats, he also took influence on the personality of thousands of kids out there, and I am one of them. And those marks will always stay there, they can´t be forgotten. If I talk about the greatness of Seb with friends nowadays we talk predominantly about the person Seb and not just the racer, which for a 4 time world champion is just quite astonishing. If someone asks me, who is my childhood hero, I´ll forever proudly say Seb. I´ll never forget this incredible time, the victories and defeats, the memories, friends and experiences I made because of that. Danke Seb! Niemand wird dir je das Wasser reichen können.

I've grown-up watching Seb establishing his name in the history of F1! At the USA GP, back in 2013, he said one of the most remarkable phrases "he have to remember these days, because we don't know when they'll end." When he announced his retirement, i was gutted, shocked, and utterly sad because i dreamed that, one day, I could see him on race track at Brazil, but at least i was blessed by being able to see the legend racing and achieving what he achieved. #DankeSeb You will never be forgotten!

[@jirouhanz2]

When I was visiting the Singapore for my 9th birthday, my family and I went to the ferris wheel above the circuit, and all I think of was him. Him being the best one there (of course he is, it was 2013). I was not big a fan of F1 when I was at my younger teens. I was a big drifting guy, and F1 was just out of my interests back then, but I occasionally see clips pop up on my youtube recommended, and I basically grew up seeing him in Ferrari. But then 2020 came, pandemic and shit, and also the rise of F1 onto the main mainstream. Of course, I watched it, and I felt BAD. I wanted to see the Scarlets to be on that top step. And then seeing him leave Ferrari genuinely scared me. I thought he'll retire, but then he joined Aston Martin. At that point, people either think he is going to retire or do a Schumacher and build a top team. I myself thought of those two too, but as the time went, it was kinda clear which one is a fact. Then the creation of his IG. I immediately thought that he might just try social media. But there it came. His announcement of his retirement. It was very sad for me to see, since this is probably the first time I see a hero of mine to retire. So him saying that he will be forgotten, I hope he knows that he is also the reason why some of us are now F1 fans.

[@ivinthomas3686]

Even though he himself said he failed in ferrari i admired him in that red car...that legendary german stripes and he battling the mercedes and putting on the greatest overtakes I've ever seen...the thing is he didnt win the championship but that hungry vettel fighting until last breath is what motivates us...that ferrari vettel is not to be undervalued...he made us all feel we should come first some day and do the no1 celebration...the seasons were imperfect but it is something I'll cherish forever

I also was one of those fans that despised Vettel during the Red Bull era (although I do think its more of a Red Bull thing rather than a driver thing) but when he went to Ferrari, he was a totally different character. I think I started to like him after the incident with Hamilton in Baku, the two of them were deucing it out for the title and although he lost, he had so much admiration and respect for him and the two were just so wholesome. And watching him coach and nurture Mick the last two years just like Michael did with him years ago was such a good thing to see, and like many I was devestated, but also glad to see him retire, because I could tell he had enough and he wanted to call it quits

[@AnimaDweller]

Great driver, better person. I honestly can say that I've never seen a driver in such harmony with his car as Vettel was on his RB. His journey on F1 and as a person hits me a lot because I grew up with him. I always thought Schumi was my favorite driver ever, but I honestly didn't watch as many races from him just because I wasnt even born yet. With Seb, I watched him in 2010 coming out of nowhere to win the championship, I watched him on 2011 showing just how good he could be. On 2012 I watched him absolutely refuse to lose at all costs in maybe the greatest season ever. On 2013 I saw him dominate, and on his Ferrari time, I saw him fight the pressure and hardships. Probably on the time I also had to fight a lot of hardships on my personal life. And finally, on Aston Martin I saw him in peace at last. He's one of the best drivers ever, but his journey was also my journey as I grew older and he did as well. He became a loved person (even though he actually has always been quite charming, just maybe not too humble at the beggining). Seeing him retire and being so happy and in peace with his decision felt like a chapter of my life closing. Now I can easily say that, Seb will always be my favorite driver ever! Danke Seb!

Wow, I don't often post comments but now I have to. Seb has been my idol in F1 since I was a child, when I get nostalgic I always think back to the purple RB9 with Vettel for some reason. Respect how you pay tribute to him with the video. Sure, he made mistakes and didn't archive the world championship with Ferrari, but he still achieved so much. Danke Seb

i cried A LOT, during the video.

Incredible video Josh. Seb has been my hero and inspiration since the age of 7 and now at the age of 22 and still a huge fan of his. This reminded me just how incredible he is. The scenes and narration in this video provoke reminiscing about the incredible era that he participated in F1 and that I was lucky enough to grow up watching. Unfortunately the sport will be missing a huge asset next year, but he will always remain my hero. Thank you, this made my day.

Danke Seb für die erinnerungen. I will love you forever 💙❤️💚

[@egwkwtsos]

Josh, thank you. Sebastian is my favorite driver of all time. And for good reason. I haven't cried in a while. The ending completely broke me because F1 simply won't be the same without him. He will never be forgotten. His legacy is too big to be forgotten. Danke Sebastian.

Beautiful tribute. Thanks for making that video.

[@coolguy10060]

Josh this was a masterpiece mate a true masterpiece deserving for a champion like seb. Hè Will be missed but somehow i think we will see seb again one way or another

[@thelegendgamer4747]

This was quite the tribute to Seb. Thanks Josh. This vid truly cherishes the man, the legend, Sebastian Vettel.

When Seb joined the sport and started winning, I was part of the group that hated him. He was some brash, cocky kid who kept beating the drivers I liked. Once he left Red Bull and started becoming more the sports stately ambassador he's increasingly become my favorite driver. His villain to hero arc alongside my own growing up through college and young adulthood... I don't think anybodys retirement has ever affected me like this, both emotionally and in a "wow, where did the time go" way, and I haven't totally reconciled that he's not on the grid next year.

My god man, that was such a beautiful video. I started watching F1 in 2021, thanks to drive to survive. I liked him for the way he presented himself in the interviews. Now when I look back, I don't know how I fell in love with that man. His announcement video gutted me. His highlights in the last 2 years excited me. The way the whole paddock payed tribute to him stunned me. If I had been following F1 since you guys have, i probably would have cried watching the video where Alonso held his hand as he was getting ready to race, and telling him "I will take care of you". Thank you so much for this love Letter from a fan to a legend.

[@chilldeen4590]

it's only been 2 races in 2023 and I already miss this man 😭

[@Vno27]

I started watching F1 in 2008 and Sebastian was the first driver I ever supported. It feels surreal seeing his career come to end, thanks for the memories Seb.

[@karlburkhardt9902]

Well done. His time was memorable in F1 and his personality will be missed.

[@robertoiannucci4881]

A Josh Revell's 42-min video on Sebastian Vettel is one hell of a way to finish 2022 on a high note!♥

[@THENAMEISQUICKMAN]

The amount of hate Vettel got just kinda goes to show that the hate Hamilton got was never because "he's fake" or "he crashes" or "he does this or he does that". If you're too dominant in this sport, the fans hate you. Yet for some reason, they try to make any excuse to hate them other than just admitting "I don't like dominant drivers".

[@rhodrage]

Vettel vs Hamilton are some of my favourite races. The 2 drivers who dominated the 2010s wheel to wheel was beautiful.

[@ediltonspencer6974]

Big mistake leaving. Seb was driving brilliantly at second half of the 22 season. The car was getting better and better and the upgrades were working very well. For the 23 season, the car would be designed by probably the former Redbull nmr 2 guy after Adrian Newey. Adrian wasn't even around much and Dan Fallows would basically lead the development of the car with then Newey work and improve it. Aston Martin for sure will be fighting for podiums in the next 2 seasons especially with the new last generation wind tunnel coming which will be the best in F1. Unfortunately Alonso will reap the fruits Seb helped grow and wasn't patient enough to wait for it to materialise.

[@Liam_Oliver]

I think his driving picked up because he knew he was leaving and was able to just drive for the love of it, without stress or expectations.
