He's one of the most gifted drivers I've ever seen, and he will definitely be missed on the paddock. Thank you, Sebastian.

    I really hope people will remember his career, not by the last years, but his victory in Monza in a midfield car, and by those 4 years, where on numerous occasions, we could see what perfection in racing is like. The car was absolutely great, and his driving was as close to perfection as one can get. Winning qualy, leading the whole race by a lot, and pumping in those fastest laps just because he could, like a machine. I will miss him a lot. My favourite driver, and will remain so. Good luck for the future.

    It doesn’t matter what you drove or what you drive now, winning races to wanting to win, you shaped the sport to what it is today and we can’t thank you enough. Your a true role model not only to kids coming into motorsport but to all of humanity. You will be missed and I’m sure this was a decision that wasn’t easy for you to make but you have to do what’s best for yourself and your family. I’m upset that I never got to see you race in person or ever had the chance to meet you but you certainly left a great impression on me and for that all I can say is thank you and thanks for the memories. Best of luck for the remainder of 2022 and beyond.

    Sebastian: back in the day when I was a lazy blob after quitting my studies, I saw you become the youngest world champion. That really got me. That made an impact, seeing myself as a failure, not studying, not working, while you, more or less my age, were winning championships. That got me and made me go back to the engineering school and promised to myself not to be lazy ever again when it was a matter of studies or something I was good at. I finished my engineering with the top score against all careers in my generation. Schumacher will always be the best but you will always be my best when it comes to F1, and a very personal hero.

      @@fiarandompenaltygeneratorm5044 hey that’s not on. I was just expressing my thoughts. There’s nothing wrong with that. And I wasn’t saying that he shouldn’t retire, I was just saying that it’s a big loss to f1 community. I, and many others, respect his decision to make more time for his family and see his kids grow up. All these praises, many people are writing them to pay their respects and honor this legend.

    Sad day in Formula 1. I can't remember a more painful moment in the sport in recent times. Still I understand his sentiments and know he will do amazing things off track as he has on it. Looking forward to this new chapter. Here is to Seb. An amazing driver and an incredible human being. V5

    I hereby announce my retirement from Formula One by the end of the 2022 season. Probably I should start with a long list of people to thank now, but I feel it is more important to explain the reasons behind my decision.
    I love this sport, it has been central to my life since I can remember. But as much as there is life on track, there is my life off track too. Being a racing driver has never been my sole identity. I very much believe in identity by who we are, and how we treat others rather than what we do.
    Who am I?
    I'm Sebastian, father of three children and husband to a wonderful woman. I am curious and easily fascinated by passionate or skilled people. I am obsessed with perfection. I am tolerant and feel we all have the same rights to live, no matter what we look like, where we come from and who we love. I love being outside and love nature and it's wonders. I am stubborn and impatient. I can be really annoying. I like to make people laugh. I like chocolate and the smell of fresh bread. My favourite colour is blue. I believe in change and progress, and that every little bit makes a difference. I am an optimist and I believe people are good.
    Next to racing, I have grown a family and I love being around them, I have grown other interests outside Formula One. My passion for racing and Formula One comes with lots of time spent away from them and takes a lot of energy. Committing to my passion the way I did and the way I think it is right, does no longer go side by side with my wish to be a great father and husband. The energy it takes to become one with the car and the team, to chase perfection takes focus and commitment.
    My goals has shifted from winning races and fighting for championships to see my children grow, passing on my values, helping them up when they fall, listening to them what they need me, not having to say goodbye, and most importantly, being able to learn from them and let them inspire me.
    Children are our future. Further I feel it is so much to explore and learn. About life and about myself. Speaking of the future, I feel we live in very decisive times. And how we all shape these next years will determine our lives. My passion come with certain aspects that I have learned to dislike. They might be solved in the future but the will to apply that change has to grow much much stronger and has to be leading to action today. Talk is not enough, and we can not afford to wait. There is no alternative. The race is underway.
    My best race? Still to come. I believe in moving forwards and moving on. Time is a one way street and I want to go with the times. Looking back is only going to slow you down. I look forward to race down unknown tracks and I will be finding new challenges. The marks I left on track will stay until time and rain will wash them away.
    New ones will be put down. Tomorrow belongs to those shaping today. The next corner is in good hands as the new generation has already turned in. I believe THERE IS STILL A RACE TO WIN. Farewell and thanks for letting me share the track with you. I loved every bit of it.
    - Sebastian Vettel
    ================================================================================================================================================
    EDIT: Danke Seb for all those years you have worked for, we will always remember for everything you have done to Formula One and World Motorsports. Take care.

    i've always been a HUGE lw44 fan & i confess that i was neutral to seb
    however, i do need to confess that i've been feeling lately that ALL that Lewis's got are titles. the ppl that were with him at the start of his career are not there anymore: his dad, his brother, his gf & even dennis (who gave him a HUGE opportunity at mclaren)
    i do know i have nothing to do with anyone's life, but i DO learn a lot from their mistakes and right decisions too.
    at the end of the day, seb's got 4 championships, is a talented driver that everyone respects and admires, lived the good life when he was a champ and now he's gonna enjoy his wife and kids
    i've admired and will always admire lewis, but he's been getting so much hate lately that i don't think is worth it. ALSO, f1 has changed SO MUCH in that last 10 years that i don't even follow it anymore.
    well, that's just me thinking out loud. i wish seb all the best ❤ and lewis too
