When Sebastian Vettel announced at the end of July that he was withdrawing from the Formula 1there were innumerable messages of support and thanks which he received, given his great career in which he has won four world titles. Before his last race in Abu Dhabithose same messages reappeared, together with numerous tributes.
One of the pilots who showed him the most affection was Fernando Alonso. The Asturian, in the run-up to the race, said goodbye to him in an elegant way and before starting the race, he told him not to worry about him and to enjoy.
Despite The German won two World Cups against the Asturian in 2010 and 2012 In the last race, both have a beautiful friendship and are very fond of each other, without any kind of rancor or bad vibes.
The withdrawal of Vettel and of alonso they have some similarities. They are two pilots who reached the top, who later fought for more world championships without success and who later ended up in a team of not the highest level. Even the farewell messages from one to the other when they were leaving have a similarity.
“Goodbye Fernando. see you when you come back“, was what he said Vettel a alonso in 2018. Now, the Asturian has used a similar message: “Seb, we will miss you here. I know you’ll come back, as I did, so see you soon. Thank you Seb.” Will he be back Sebastian Vettel of his retirement, as he did Fernando Alonso in 2021?
