Who was your first teammate in Formula 1?” the interviewer asked. “Nick Heidfeld,” Vettel replied with not much hesitation.

This was followed by a question that was related to his debut race in Formula 1. The interviewer asked where the German had qualified and finished the race in the 2007 US Grand Prix. “Finished eighth. Qualified seventh,” the Ferrari driver said with a mild dilemma.

Vettel was then asked about the first Grand Prix, where he was penalized by the stewards. “Turkey [2006]. The first time I drove out of the box, basically,” the four-time world champion answered.

Will he be able to use his experience to the fullest at the Istanbul Circuit and put an end to his string of poor performances over the last few months? Only time will tell.
