These stellar attributes fit perfectly in an F1 ‘expert’s’ resume, but it’s not a job Seb wants when he hangs his helmet up for good.
Speaking to Brundle on Sky F1, Vettel said:
“No, I don’t know, I like to talk but I’m not sure I could do that side of it. I think its easier to give answers than to ask questions and to keep track of where the conversation’s going”
“So I don’t think its that easy, you don’t have an intelligence in your ear. So you have to prep for it and so on. Which I guess after a while you might get into it but just I don’t know..”
