Sebastian Vettel ha annunciato ieri che l’anno prossimo non sarà più al via del Campionato Mondiale di Formula 1. Dopo 16 stagioni e quattro titoli mondiali vinti, il pilota tedesco ha deciso di “cambiare vita” e dedicare più tempo alla famiglia.
La decisione è quella di un uomo maturo e di un pilota che, dopo una carriera ricca di successi, ha saputo dire stop, dopo aver corso per Toro Rosso, Red Bull, Ferrari e Aston Martin.
Qui sotto riportiamo le reazione di alcuni piloti e team di Formula 1 alla notizia del ritiro di Vettel. Lo facciamo attraverso una raccolta di post sui social network dei piloti stessi.
