F1: Sebastian Vettel

Sebastian Vettel

Vettel was born on July 3^rd 1987, the same year when the first bottle of Red Bull was sold. He is the third child from four children in his family. One day, Vettel’s father, Norbert introduced the young Vettel and his mother, Heike, to Michael Schumacher. At that time, Schumacher thought Vettel would have bright future in race. He is right. In fact, Vettel has won his championship title in Formula 1 twice, 2010 and 2012.

Vettel’s hobbies are playing video games, listening to music and reading books. He often borrows books from, or lends to another racer in F1, Nico Rosberg. He lives in Walchwil, Switzerland, but once in a while he visits his hometown, Heppenheim, Germany.

He ever said “When I was a child, my idol is Three Michael- Michael Schumacher, Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson. I even wanted to be like them. I can’t play basketball, neither does sing a song. So, I become a racer like Schumi”.  He even got compliment from his idol, Schumi, when he won his second world champion title. Schumi gave his congrats to him right after the race.

Vettel always gives his car that he uses in F1 a name. He gave these following names to his car

1.       Julie and Kate in Grand Prix 2008

2.       Kate's Dirty Sister in Grand Prix 2009

3.       Luscious Liz dan Randy Mandy in Grand Prix 2010

4.       Kinky Kylie in Grand Prix 2011

Lately, Vettel is often compared to his idol, Schumacher, but he never takes the comment seriously. He never becomes an arrogant person just because he can defeat his idol. He said he had a long way to be like him. There are two reasons why people often compare them. They are both of them come from the same country and have similarity in driving technique.

In Formula1 2012,Vettel stands on first position because his point is 215. I predict him will also win this season like what he had done in the last two seasons, 2010 and 2011.We will see the last three races to know whether I am right or not. The three races are:
