You asked, Sebastian Vettel answered
Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One™ Team driver Sebastian Vettel answers questions submitted by our fans.
We teamed up with Socios and asked our fan token holders to submit their most interesting questions for AMF1 driver Sebastian Vettel. Here, we picked five of the best for the driver of Car Five to answer.
Sebastian talks about his favourite movies, what he enjoys about gifts from fans and why he would like to be an ant for a day.
What is the most important life lesson you have learned from your time in F1?
You learn a lot of life lessons not by people telling you something, but by finding something in your life that you're passionate about or you really love doing.
Then you never have to go to work, so to say. Obviously, there are days that are not as fun and it does still feel a bit like work, but I am very lucky that I found something very early on that I loved and was able to turn into my job.
It makes my living, so that was a great lesson. It doesn't need to be racing; it can be anything you want. Find something that really drives you and pushes you on, so it never gets dull or boring.
I really like to read from people, when they make the effort to sit down, write a letter, message or note.
What is a gift that a fan has given you that you really enjoyed?
So many things to be honest! It's always nice to get a gift. I really like to read from people, when they make the effort to sit down, write a letter, message or note, so I can read what drives them, why they come to the races, why they support Formula One or support me, why they are a fan – I think that's the greatest gift.
Of course, there are presents as well, like a panda bear or flowers. I have a collection of keyrings! But if I'm honest, I would rather hear a little bit about what's behind people.
Sebastian Vettel answers your questions
We've teamed up with Socios to put questions from our fan token holders to Sebastian.
What do you normally do in your free time?
Similar things to what we all do! I enjoy time with friends, time with my family at home. I like to switch off and just watch a movie.
I love being outside more than anything – maybe hiking up a mountain, going for a bike ride, just going places and exploring.
What are your three favourite movies?
Number one: The Shawshank Redemption.
Number two: actually a German movie, Wo ist Fred? You probably have no clue what it is, but it's very funny. And number three: Life of Brian. They're both number two, actually – let's go for the funny ones.
Number three: now I'm thinking too hard… Gladiator!
I would love to be an animal for a day - I think being an ant could be fun and obviously very small!
If you could be another person for one day, who would you choose and why?
I wouldn't like to be another person – I would like to be an animal. Then I'm pretty happy to be lots of different things. I think being an ant could be fun, and obviously very small!
But then, being a giant whale would be amazing, or being a bird – you could fly!
