Sebastian Vettel Tribute -

Without any doubt, Sebastian Vettel is one of the greats of Formula 1. An incredible driver and an even more fascinating and inspiring person. He came into F1 like a hurricane, with that debut for BMW Sauber, and then was quickly stolen by Red Bull. Just like his idol, Michael Schumacher, many years ago, was stolen by Benetton right after his debut. Seb's Red Bull years were incredible. Such a strong era, but he always remained humble and fully enjoyed every moment. Then, it was time to grow up and try to emulate his hero at Ferrari. A new and mature Sebastian arrived, becoming a different but even more incredible person to follow. He saw lots of success at Ferrari, but it was also a challenging time, far from that perfect dream. And then a big finale at Aston Martin for one last ride which introduced us to another different Sebastian. He fully committed himself to things that bothered him and mattered to him, trying to raise awareness of climate change, speak about saving the planet, and help children. And that was an even more inspiring personality. Yet, he never lost his great sense of humour and incredible fighting spirit.

My first memory of Seb? When I was just a child, I was browsing through TV channels and accidentally came upon a Formula BMW race. And there was this young guy with braces but an infectious smile and great spirit. It was Sebastian Vettel at the beginning of greatness. I always liked him. The way he treated others, journalists, fans, or Mick Schumacher in the last seasons. It just showed his huge personality. And there will be a huge void in Formula 1 from now on. Unless he returns one day... Anyway, this was also the toughest and most challenging video I've ever made. I never had so much footage, and it took me many weeks, actually a few months, to put it together. But I hope it's a fitting tribute that you will enjoy. Please share and comment. #DankeSeb

Formula 1 is a world of glamour, passion and excitement. With some incredible stories and tales, many of which have good endings but there are even some sad ones. Only the best of the best can drive those beasts around all the challenging tracks in the world - from Monaco to Suzuka. Legends like Fangio, Clark, Stewart, Lauda, Prost, Senna, Schumacher and Hamilton... just hearing these names gives you "goosebumps"! And only true fans can understand why we sit in front of our TVs from March until November and watch the greatest drivers in the world chasing that championship trophy. It's a long journey, but only a few can achieve their dreams.

Formula 1 is also my big passion. I have followed this sport for more than 20 years. While we may never understand feelings of racing drivers, we, fans, have some special feelings too, when we see our favourites succeeding. And that is something hard to describe as well. Then comes "When Words Are Not Enough" as I try to share my passion and represent all the emotions to you, the fans. To never forget those special moments. Thank you, everyone, for your great support. I'm doing those videos only for you, and it's a pleasure.
