I was trying to pass on some of my experiences in life: Sebastian Vettel

Sebastian Vettel led from the front as he helped the women drivers by racing with them in karts. The act gained him many praises from across the world and made some fans in Saudi Arabia.

“I was trying to pass on some of my experiences in life and on track to do something together to grow their confidence. Obviously, in Saudi Arabia, women have only been allowed since 2017 to drive a car so some of them had a license, others they did not, some of them were huge F1 enthusiasts, others had nothing to do with F1 or racing before today.

So it was a good mix of women from different backgrounds and a great event. Everyone was extremely happy. I have to say I was inspired by their stories and their background and the positivity about the change in the country.” said Vettel.

Such charitable acts from Vettel have shown him in a new light. He has led from the front when it comes to issues such as human rights or environmental concerns. We all have loved and appreciated this new and more mature side of the former world champion.
