Sebastian Vettel is perhaps today's most unique celebrity: he is a celebrity without any social media channels! New technologies rarely interest the Germanbeing involved in one of the most technological sports.

Vettel even likes to take notes in the old-fashioned way: "In general, I like to take notes," he told Formula1. "I'm taking a few digital notes with my iPad now, but I prefer pen and paper. I still have notebooks from 2007 and so on. They're useless now, but they're still there. They're all piled up on a bookshelf."

Social Media?

Luckily, Vettel was able to figure out exactly what social media meant, but he prefers not to use it himself, explaining: "I've never tried it and I think it's good, because a lot of people tell me they can't live without it. So I'm not missing anything. I've seen how it roughly works with other people and as far as I can see, it's done in a way that clearly makes you addicted. So yeah, not for me."
