The former F1 driver and four-time world champion is helping women who want to join motorsports. Vettel exits F1 after the end of 2022 season. Since then, he has been rather active about the Formula 1 world. Vettel is often seen on weekends promoting the social causes he is working for.<\/p><p>Sebastian Vettel has taken a lot of interest in the championship this season. After the end of Max Verstappen&rsquo;s dominance in 2024, the championship has become much more interesting. Earlier, Vettel had expressed that he was rooting for his former rival, Lewis Hamilton. Even though Sebastian Vettel wanted Lewis Hamilton to win his eighth title, he will have to wait longer. Hamilton&rsquo;s Ferrari and his current results are nowhere supportive of his record-breaking eighth title dreams.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">When Sebastian Vettel wore a t-shirt signed by all the women he organised a karting event for in Saudi Arabia &#128588; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/W8v9N7uTTX\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/W8v9N7uTTX<\/a><\/p>&mdash; ESPN F1 (@ESPNF1) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ESPNF1\/status\/1912536465524793442?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>April 16, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>It seems one of the McLarens has piqued the interest of Sebastian Vettel this season. The Papaya cars are in contention for the world championship in the early stage of the 2025 season. The first two races of the season have helped McLarens establish a dominant lead over other teams with their superior machinery. But, one of their drivers is highly self-critical about himself.

He was unable to match his teammate&rsquo;s pace in qualifying. Norris even collected a penalty at the start of the race. However, he managed to display a lot of patience and good race pace. Norris was able to use the advantage of his McLaren&rsquo;s superior speed to recover until the third position. He has managed to keep his lead against teammate Piastri.<\/p><p>His self-doubts and failures over the past have earned him a lot of hate from the Formula 1 fans. Anytime Norris ends up gaining the spotlight, he is immediately attacked by fans. However, the German champion had a lot of praise for Norris.<\/p><p>&ldquo;I think it&rsquo;s a positive development because we are normal people,&rdquo; the German <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/sports\/formula1\/vettel-hails-self-critical-norris-real-role-model-2025-04-15\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>told Reuters<\/a>. &ldquo;We do have normal problems just like everybody else.

Vettel has won all of his championships at Red Bull Racing. He was a celebrated driver at Red Bull during his F1 days. Red Bull Racing still remebers Vettel as one of their very best. Vettel has predicted that his former team has everything they need to make a comeback.<\/p><p>Red Bull Racing has made one of their worst starts in the ground-effects era. Max Verstappen may have won the race in Suzuka but he has displayed no confidence in his car. Verstappen&rsquo;s results are degrading day by day. He is facing numerous issues in his car and is frustrated. The situation has escalated to such a point that people are talking about his departure from Red Bull.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Concern is growing within Red Bull that Max Verstappen will leave the team at the end of the year<\/p>&mdash; ESPN F1 (@ESPNF1) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ESPNF1\/status\/1911773285618012566?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>April 14, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Vettel thinks that Red Bull Racing have not given up yet and that they can turn things around if needed.

His own victories in 2010 and 2012 driver&rsquo;s championship were nothing short of legendary. According to Vettel,<\/p><p>&ldquo;Obviously, Red Bull isn&rsquo;t very strong now, but if you just go back one year, Red Bull started off very strong and wasn&rsquo;t that strong at the end and still won.

I got into online journalism a couple of years ago. I used to be an intern for a website managing their Formula 1 content and then I served an entire year as a contractual writer. For me, online journalism was not something I expected. I am a Mechanical Engineer aiming to join Formula 1. At the same time, I am a poet, writer and my university\\'s Literary Club Lead. One day the dots connected together and I realised I could use my writing skills to convey my passion for Motorsports. The biggest aspects I love about my role are- Scuderia Ferrari and Sebastian Vettel. When I am not fawning over them I like to convey my opinions to the public, in a manner which helps them gain a new point of view. I love helping people explore new ideas about Motorsports and obviously get recognised as a writer all over the world.
