Just days ago, the connection between racing legends Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen was the talk of the town. It was a special moment in F1 history, Vettel swiftly reaching out to Verstappen to celebrate the latter’s record-breaking consecutive race victories. Yet, as Verstappen’s winning streak came to a sudden halt at the 2023 Singapore Grand Prix, the racing world noticed a contrasting silence from Vettel’s end, leaving fans curious.

During the post-race conversation with Tom Clarkson and Silja Rulle, Verstappen exhibited both grace and determination as he reflected on the end of his remarkable run. Despite facing defeat, the racer maintained an optimistic outlook towards the forthcoming challenges, embracing the truth that “It’s not sustainable, and you know that there is a day that another team is going to beat you, and that was today.”

As Verstappen recounted the friendship shared with fellow racing legend, Sebastian Vettel, the spotlight subtly shifted to Vettel’s silence following Verstappen’s defeat. Silja Rulle asked Verstappen, “When you broke Sebastian’s record, he was the first to text you. Did he also reach out today, now that you kind of lost the series?” Although Vettel chose to stay silent this time, Verstappen bore no hard feelings, happily anticipating a warm catch-up in Suzuka.

He said on the podcast, “No, not today. I mean, we texted him there, and of course I will see him in Suzuka, because we are going to do something together, like all the drivers, so that’s going to be nice. We can have a little chat and see how he’s doing.”

It is moments like these that resonate — a pillar to the deep bonds and respect that underlie the fierce competition, encapsulating the spirit of Formula 1.
