In motorsport, we depend on the stopwatch. We depend on time. We chase time. We become experts in chasing time. Sometimes it appears we catch it. We’re able to hold on to it for a moment before the moment is gone again. We go in circles, chasing time. We forget the world around us. It feels like flying. For us, it is the greatest feeling we can experience. But it comes at a cost. The risk we take is one worth taking to get that feeling, again and again. Sebastian Vettel

There is something loose between my legs, apart from the obvious, something flapping around. It’s around my feet, I’d be proud if it was what you think it is but it’s not.Sebastian Vettel
