“I do,” said Vettel, when asked if he owned the latest iPhone.

“I really love directions and stuff like this. And then the pictures, which allows you to capture a moment, especially with kids and so on. I think that’s great. It’s also very small. I went back to a digital camera, but it’s quite clumsy to have in your pocket.”

Judging by visuals captured at a recent Grand Prix event, Vettel probably owns an iPhone 11 Pro.
The German also stressed the importance of calling over texting or email. Vettel believes phones are losing their importance over the most paramount function which it’s supposed to be used for.
“How many times does your phone ring in a day? Almost never. And it’s supposed to be a phone and now it’s doing everything else,” he says.

“What I mean is, if it’s an emergency, you get hold of people, but nowadays we treat everything as if it is an emergency, but we actually don’t act the same way about it.
“People send an email and they want a reply straight away, but it’s not important. Not all the emails are important.”
Phones aside, the German must make up for Saturday’s disappointment in today’s race. While a podium may be too much to ask, bringing home a handful of points is an achievable goal.
