168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton has lauded former F1 rival 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel as “the best world champion that I know.”

Hamilton and Vettel competed for several ⭕years at tꦍhe front of F1, producing some memorable battles.

Vettel emerged victori▨ous in their early title duels, most notably in 2010, when both remained in contention heading into tဣhe season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, with Fernando Alonso and Mark Webber also involved.

Their rivalry in꧟ten🥀sified in 2017 and 2018, with Hamilton and Vettel leading Mercedes and Ferrari respectively.

Hamilton prevailed in both seasons, denying Vettel the opportunity to emulate his idol, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Schumacher, by bringing title success to the Scuderia.

Speaking to a group of fans as part of his farewell tour in Malaysia, Hamilton reflected on🧔 his F1 career and explained why Vettel stands out.

“Seb is the best world c♓hampion that I know because he's far more than a driver,” hꦬe said.

“He's someone with real passion, he's empathetic, and he cares for people. He actual🌟ly is the only other one that's tried to utilise his platform for something good.

"I've met so many celebrities and so many people. There's a lot of people tha𝔍t don't take time for others.

“I think, for me, that makes me... it doesn💟't matter how well he drives, he's so quick anyway. We had great races together.

“But I think, for me, we had the best rac♌es together.”

A force for change off-track

Vettel’s downturn in form and subsequent move to F1's midfield with Aston Martin♏ prompted a shift in his focus. 

The German became increasingly invested in issues outs🧸ide of F1.

At the 2021 Hungarian G🌃rand Prix, Vettel wore a rainbow t-shirt ahea☂d of the race to promote LGBTQ+ rights.

This act was a result of Hungary’s proposal of a controversial law limiting scཧhools’ ability to teach about homosexuality and transgender issues.

The former Red Bull driver a🔴lso became vocal on environmental and sustainability issues, areas of interest he has continued to champion since retiring from F1.
