Vettel’s hair was a burning subject of discussion among Twitter users

The video mainly entailed the German driver interacting with some of the team’s employees at the factory. However, some fans could not believe that was actually Vettel, owing to a different ‘hairstyle.’

As is the norm prior and during the F1 season, the 33-year-old had come in for a seat fitting that would naturally transition into his car as well. It ensures a simulation for drivers to feel exactly how they would when they sit inside their original F1 cars.
