Sebastian Vettel left the Formula 1 world in shock with his unexpected announcement to retire in July 2022. The German driver went from being hated during his Red Bull days to becoming one of the most admired drivers in the F1 community as his racing career came to a close in 2022. However, ever since retirement, the 4-time F1 world champion has maintained a relatively low profile.

News about Vettel’s whereabouts has been few and far between. There are only a few things we know about the German since he chose a calmer family life over Formula 1. He participated in the prestigious Goodwood Festival of Speed, where he drove Nigel Mansell’s iconic Williams FW14B. Vettel has also ventured into investments, notably in Aston Martin and the environmentally friendly sports drink company, BACX. His involvement with BACX reflects his commitment to healthier alternatives for athletes, as he went on to become the company’s lead global brand ambassador.

The 36-year-old also made headlines in May 2023 when he joined forces with double Olympic sailing bronze medalist Erik Heil and team owner Thomas Riedel to establish the first Germany SailGP team. Brought together by their shared passion for sports, technology, and the global sailing championship’s impact, the trio expressed their enthusiasm for SailGP, a rapidly growing high-tech racing series.

However, it’s his recent whereabouts that caught the imagination of the fans. As per an Instagram post shared by @barbaboat, Sebastian Vettel, along with a few companions, recently embarked on a winter exploration in the Stavanger region of Norway, exploring the fjords. One of the highlights of their outing was the encounter with inquisitive gray seals in the outer archipelago.
