Sebastian Vettel and Sebastien are said to be friends. And apparently, as per Bild, Ogier is indebted to Vettel for changing his life for the better. Vettel is the sole reason that Ogier got to meet the woman that he went on to marry later, Andrea Kaiser.

It was in the presence of the German that the two lovebirds got to exchange pleasantries. And well, the rest is history. As per the reports, Ogier admitted that seeing Andrea was love at first sight for him. And it was only thanks to Sebastian Vettel that he got the opportunity to ‘socialize’ with his then-to-be wife.
