Lewis Hamilton has branded the retiring four-time F1 world champion Sebastian Vettel as “one of the greatest people we’ve seen” in the series. Here are some of the drivers' tributes ⬇️
announced via his new Instagram account that he would be retiringBoth Hamilton and Vettel have been racing in F1 for almost exactly the same time, with the latter making his debut midway through the 2007 campaign that also marked Hamilton’s first., both drivers in recent years have emerged as the moral leaders of F1 in their calls for societal changes and action on the world’s climate crisis.
“I kind of knew that it was coming, as there'd been hints, but the realisation of it is another thing,” Hamilton said of the Vettel news. “But when I talk about the journey that I've felt I've experienced in this sport, and kind of often feeling that it's been relatively lonely, I would say he's one of the few people that made it not feel lonely.
“And I knew then that he was going to be a powerful figure in the sport. But then seeing his success, and then seeing that he puts others before himself and he's been so brave in speaking out and standing for what he believes in.“I think he's one of the greatest people that we've seen in the sport. And we need more like him. I'm sad because I will have lost an ally inside the actual sport on the grid.
