Vettel shared, “After a couple of drinks, everyone was quite happy, and then sometime in the night, Michael came as well, and we had a couple more drinks together. I think after he came, I felt much worse as I started mixing a bit, which wasn’t the best strategy, but all in all, it was a fun night.”
“The funny thing is, I’m usually in control when it comes to not showing my German accent too much.” The former Red Bull man further said, “But after a couple of drinks, it was quite obvious where I come from.”
