Sebastian Vettel finished seventh at the Spanish Grand Prix and was in a much better mood after the race. That turned was evident during an interview with reporter Jack Plooij.

After the Spanish Grand Prix Sebastian Vettel was interviewed by Jack Plooij for Ziggo Sport. The first part of the interview went pretty normal, until a helicopter messed it up. The two could no longer understand each other, for which Plooij apologised.

A helicopter for Plooij

An opening that the German is happy to take on. "Yeah, can you send your helicopter away? They're too early to pick you up. Only journalists working as dentists can be picked up by a helicopter. It's a good thing that the whole of the Netherlands knows this now. You see, you press your button in your pants and now the helicopter is gone," the four-time world champion jokes.

Plooij was all too eager to continue the interview, but the reporter didn't get rid of the German that quickly. "Why are you red? Why are you turning red? All right, go ahead, ask your question." It is clear that Vettel is feeling a lot better after his bizarre race in Barcelona.
