Charitable! Endearing! Kind! Sebastian Vettel is all these things. Fans widely regard him as one of the finest human beings to have driven a Formula 1 car. The German not only won four world championships during his time in the sport, but he also went on to become a beloved driver to the fans.

While race by race, his career comes to an end, the fraternity only cherishes his presence even more. Safe to say, fans want to make the most of Seb’s last days on the track. However, even in his farewell tour, the driver stands for so much more than just being a racer, helping out any person/organization he can.

Back in 2020, Vettel had auctioned off a special Ferrari helmet. The diversity helmet was important, given Vettel scored his only podium that year during the Turkish GP. Bidders would place large prices for it, raising money for two charities in Uganda and Togo. Cut to 2022, one of the centers finally opened through Vettel’s help.

The “Smiles For Togo” charity is a non-profit organization that acts as a relief project for children in the country. The other organization, called “Children A Chance”, facilitated underprivileged kids to get an education.

However, Vettel has helped several other entities in many other ways. His consistent efforts to spread knowledge about social issues, discrimination, etc. are always reflected through messages on his helmets and his actions.

In one of the recent incidents, Sebastian Vettel actually crashed during an FP3 session at the Hungarian Grand Prix. The track turned extremely wet as the heavens poured heavy rain at the Hungaroring. As a result, the former four-time world champion, who was doing fairly well, lost his rear and crashed out just before qualifying.
