 Vettel Alonso Piastri who say with summer break we've got three big news today Vettel retirement from Formula 1 that came in Budapest Alonso signing for Aston Martin it's only the beginning because there's some Alpin story Alpin announces that Oscar Piastri is gonna drive there for them Oscar Piastri goes on Twitter saying that he hasn't signed anything with Alpin we've got my client that has a second seat available I mean we are on to a pretty exciting summer break here we go first part is about Vettel as you may know Sebastian Vettel is one of the greatest Formula 1 driver of all time if you don't know make sure that you click on the video that I've made about the top 10 drivers Formula 1 drivers of all time at the chance to race against him is an incredible driver is an incredible person and I would like to talk about three points about Vettel the first one being pay tribute to his greatest moment of his career so Sebastian Vettel is one of the most successful Formula 1 racing driver with four-time world champion between 2010 and 2013 in the history of Formula 1 only Fangio and Michael Schumacher were four-time world champion in a row Vettel is the youngest Formula 1 world champion of all time he's the third driver with the most victories of all time 53 and third most podium finishes of all time with 122 podiums and fourth of all time for most pole position was 57 I mean those numbers speak for themselves pretty crazy to know that Sebastian in a very short time because that was basically from 2008 his first win and then 2010 with Red Bull to 2013 and then some with Ferrari later so if you remember back 2007 15 years ago Sebastian Vettel was called by BMW Saab to replace Robert Kubica that had a big crash to the Canadian Grand Prix and was not allowed to race at the US Grand Prix and Sebastian from his first Grand Prix looked like he had everything under control like he wasn't new for him but on top of the performance what I remember watching it was just like it was super calm it was super calm for his first time in Formula 1 and that amazed me back then the year after it went to Torrosso 2008 and even though the four first races went bad Belivia 3 times on the first lap when arrived Monza Monza 2008 it was a very wet weekend and Sebastian Vettel won the Grand Prix for Torrosso and that was an incredible performance incredible achievement no one was expecting Torrosso to win a race and I remember seeing him flying under the rain and jumping the curbs and and just having master control of the car that was 2008 then obviously went to Red Bull add that incredible series of four world championship in a row fighting with the top guys like Alonso then after Red Bull 2014 was a tough year for Red Bull Sebastian Vettel a new teammate Daniel Ricciardo I believe the card didn't really fit Sebastian so he went to Ferrari he became Louis's worst enemy he was very competitive which is very impressive he was there pushing the limit trying to always go and fight Mercedes that was very dominating at a time and for a lot of years he was the only one trying to challenge Louis Hamilton for the world championship so I really enjoyed those years obviously I was close to him with Haas and the link that we had with Ferrari but definitely lived in those years you know even though we can say that he didn't never won the championship with Ferrari it's absolutely incredible and then he went to Aston Martin for a fresh new challenge I believe the first year went pretty well 2022 just the car isn't great so it's a bit of a shame to see Sebastian you know out in Q1 such a great driver but it shows you how much you depend on the car you know you can be at the top but if your car isn't good you are at the bottom from his body language we could kind of tell that Sebastian was was going to retire I thought that he was going to retire his last year after his last year at Ferrari because he looked like he was kind of tired of all the duties and the travel but also in the GPDA at the Gombo Diversition he was super involved so it was like a mixed feeling and I believe Aston Martin was a fresh start for him and he was going to go somewhere and have something new which he had in the first year and that year just was the one where the car wasn't working off and I believe he just had enough so he's off what are his plans I don't know I'm sure he can drive anyway he wants to but does he want to you know keep traveling does he want some quiet time have some fun I don't know second part is the third well the memories of the greatest moment of Sebastian day there are a lot of memories that I have with Sebastian obviously the first one is Monza 2008 that win for Toroso that's something very special that he did that day and absolutely stunning another souvenir that I have is when he won the Indian Grand Prix in 2013 which was actually his last world championship I was third on the podium Nico Rosbeck was second and actually celebrated the world championship of Sebastian with him on the podium and that was that was a really cool moment I was very happy to stand on that podium to lift off Sebastian as a world champion I would say that the third memory is not a very good one but Germany 2018 when Sebastian crashed out of the lead in the German Grand Prix on the tricky very tricky condition and you could tell he was you know he was banging on his wheel you could tell he was still into it and absolutely wanted to try to be a world champion that year and win his own race after that I just felt like you know as I say I feel like he kind of had enough at least in his body language yes Formula 1 is absolutely incredible but Formula 1 drains you you know it's traveling the world 2022-23 times per year jet lag all over the place far away from your family and your kids it is an incredible job don't get me wrong and I was very lucky to do it for 10 years but it's also a job that takes a lot out of you and and it's you know you be it's selfish sport is selfish it's not the athletes that are selfish it's sport because it requires you to be all over the place around the world focus on what you have to do recover to get the full energy so when retirement time comes you actually realize that you can have a lot of fun and spend a lot of time with your family well the third part was my opinion on his retirement I guess I kind of gave you already an idea I felt like he he has accomplished more than a lot of drivers will ever do he's in the top 10 of the greatest Formula 1 drivers of all time does he want to do more does he want to do different does he want to do NASCAR, Indycar, Rallycar, Dakar, Le Mans I don't know he will know inside him what he wants to do and not that's the most important for him you know he's dedicated 15 years to Formula 1 which which is incredible he's just going to do what he wants to be happy and that's that's one of the most important thing in life all right now on to Fernando Alonso the 25 years old man Fernando is 41 years old imagine he started in Australia 2001 that is 21 years ago Fernando is 347 grand prix he could have he's been racing so much in Formula 1 that he could have been around the the first 2.3 times he's a quarter of the way from the first to the moon just driving distance in Formula 1 oh incredible is that and yet you watch Fernando Alonso in every practice session qualifying race he does races like a 20 years old driver I mean I love that passion that dedication that he's got for the racing that's absolutely incredible starting with Minardi went to Renault Ferrari McLaren back to sort of Renault with Alpine and no Aston Martin so that was a bit of a shock move I must say I don't think Alpine was expecting it told them that um well I do I'm Fernando Alonso and I do whatever I want good for him he deserves it I mean he's an incredible driver he's got an incredible charisma an incredible career twice world champion if we look at his stats they're not they're not the greatest of 347 grand prix is 32 wins 301 grand prix louis has 103 wins so you know if you look at the stats they're not they're not their spaceship for Fernando but you know when he was a trainer it was absolutely incredible went Ferrari they had a tough time so he couldn't really achieve what he wanted he went to McLaren and they had issue with the power unit and he wasn't very happy with it but then went to Le Mans won Le Mans 24 hours competed in the Indy 500 and did incredibly well so wherever Fernando goes Fernando is fast and as I say at 41 years old he still has that energy and dedication of a 20 years old driver and I love that and you see it in the way he moves and the way he practices and he slides the car and he's just he just loves it and and it's so cool to see someone like that just just being out there and being happy to be in Formula 1 wants to stay longer as an incredible contract with Aston Martin my only hope here is that Aston Martin comes back a little bit stronger next year because I don't want to see a frustrated Fernando Alonso I want to see a Fernando Alonso that is able to compete at the front able to give us that thrill like the Kennedy and Gump qualifying where you almost went for pole those moments that that a magical moment Fernando can create when you sit on your sofa you're almost like jumping all over the place like come on come on Fernando do it I threw hope that with Aston Martin that's gonna work well for him which brings us through the third being news of the summer break and we're only two days into the summer break it's Oscar Piastri if I'm being honest the first kind of time that I heard about Oscar Piastri was in Formula 3 he was fighting with Logan Sargent and Theo Porcher the Frenchman and the American driver and I thought like he was good but maybe maybe the Sargent or Porcher were a bit better than him the year after in Formula 2 he completely I realized that I was completely wrong and that he was very special in Formula 2 he just dominated it absolutely perfect season fast consistent precise absolutely incredible
