Red Bull Racing gives special gift to retiring Vettel

For Sebastian Vettel, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will be the last race of his career. Red Bull Racing, the team with which he has become champion no less than four times, has given a special gift to the German to thank him for his impressive career in the premier class.

During the weekend in Abu Dhabi, several moments marked Vettel's farewell. All 20 drivers went together to a restaurant for a farewell dinner for Vettel. The father of the four-time world champion was also present in Abu Dhabi and gave the first racing suit and helmet as a gift to his son.

A very special surprise.
