Lewis Hamilton reveals how he organised Sebastian Vettel’s farewell dinner at F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
Four-time world champion Vettel will retire at the end of the 2022 season after finishing his final race, the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, in 10th.
All 20 F1 drivers went to dinner together in a rare show of camaraderie and Ha🔥milton has now explained how it came to🗹gether.
“I�𝓰� think it was really important so that’s why I asked the group in Mexico whether they would be open to all doing a dinner to give Seb a farewell,” he said.
“We haven’t had a dinner since years ago in China [2016], it was the best evening. Everyone was laughing so much, g𝓀reat stories, Seb is a great leader.
“He made a great speech, really trying to hand down some of the experiences he’s had over these years. 👍Par꧋ticularly to the younger guys because they’re the future.
— Lewis Hamilton (@LewisHamilton)“Maybe we’ll make it an annual thing here. Maybe we’ll add another one in the year 🥀perhaps.
“There’s also just a lot we can do as the GPDA as a united group. We have a responsi🅺bility, we’ve got a great✤ platform, each and every one of us collectively.
“It’s encouraging…collectively there’s a lot of things F1 needs to push forward on action-wise. Says we’re doing a lot of things and sustainability but really really making sure we’re pushing through and doing our absolute best and maybe GPDA can have a rolဣe in that.”
Hꦺamilton posted on social media: “We’ve come a long♕ way as drivers and continue to grow as men.
“Despite whatever may 🌱happen on the track we grow and beco𝔉me better each day.
“Us all coming togethe🦋r to celebrate life and ♌Seb’s amazing career in F1 is truly a night I’ll never forget.”
