Sebastian Vettel announced his retirement from Formula 1 a little over a year ago now. The German has since been spending quality time with his family and exploring his hobbies.
However even though the 4-time champion has left Formula 1, the sport is not ready to leave him! Recently, in an interview, the German offered interesting insights on other drivers.
Vettel makes interesting claims about Lando Norris, Charles Leclerc, and Lewis Hamilton
In a recent Q&A session with Red Bull Germany, the 4-time champion was asked his take on various hypotheticals such as who the best dancer on the grid was, and who threw the best parties.

Speaking about Charles Leclerc, Vettel claimed that the Monagasque always had the “freshest sneakers,” implying his appreciation for Leclerc’s fashion sense.
Regarding close friend and 7-time world champion Lewis Hamiton, Vettel acknowledged Lewis’ talent in music, claiming that he was the “best at singing.” The Mercedes star notably also has a song with Christina Aguilera!
Finally, when he was asked who had the best dance moves, the former Aston Martin driver named Mclaren talent Lando Norris as his candidate for the “best at dance moves.” However, given Vettel’s own love for a quick step or two on the podium, one might have to disagree with him there!
He was also asked about which F1 driver threw the best parties to which he bowed down to the “Iceman” and even who was always late to which he humbly replied, “ME!” It is not just his accolades but also his being, calm and collected, that makes fans go crazy over the former Ferrari pilot.
Sebastian Vettel says Kimi Raikkonen threw great parties during his time in F1
Naming himself as the driver who was always late, Vettel didn’t hesitate when answering the question, “Which F1 driver thre the best parties?”
The answer surprised nobody when Vettel named former teammate Kimi Raikkonen as his candidate for throwing a party. The Finnish driver was famous for his hilarious responses with the media, his world championship with Ferrari in 2007 and of course, for being a party animal!
The Finn has been drunk at numerous events and multiple times alongside his grid mates. A famous incident of the same is when he was openly drunk, enjoying the celebrations at the post-season awards ceremony! In fact, the Iceman has himself claimed to the media that partying actually made him a “better driver.”
Vettel, recalling these incidents, picked the obvious choice for the answer, having seen Kimi’s hilarious antics firsthand as his teammate.
