Vettel has earned his stripes: 'Sebastian is a true champion'

Sebastian Vettel is in his final season in Formula 1. The four-time world champion can look back on a successful career, in which his period with Red Bull Racing can be seen as a highlight. Martin Brundle has a lot of respect for the driver, he says in his column on Sky Sports.

The commentator for the English sports channel was himself part of Formula 1 for many years and therefore knows better than anyone what it takes to perform in the sports class. According to Brundle, Vettel's performance was astonishing.

"Sebastian is a true champion and a thoroughly good human being, and it was a pleasure to commentate on his career," Brundle said. "He has won four world championships and 53 races, third on the all-time F1 list, and he remains the youngest-ever world champion. He may only be 35 but he's burned the candle hard."

Aston Martin has already found his replacement. Fernando Alonso decided to swap Alpine for the British racing team. It is a move that Felipe Massa, among others, does not fully understand. The Spaniard will remain connected to the team for several years.
