The Motorsport world witnessed the reunion of former Repsol Honda teammates Dani Pedrosa and Marc Marquez, as the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing test rider gave a lift to Marques on the back of his scooter during the Spanish GP. After seeing this MotoGP moment, the F1 fans recalled the Sebastian Vettel Scooter moment from this season.

During the FP1 of the Australian GP, the four-time F1 world champion faced issues with his Aston Martin AMR22. So, the 34-year-old got out of his car and took a marshal’s scooter to return to his pit while waving at the fans. Later, Seb had to pay a fine of 5,000 euros for driving the scooter on the circuit. But it became a memorable moment in the history of F1.
