Famous Sebastian Vettel Quotes

Below are some famous Sebastian Vettel Quotes as a successful professional driver.

"Germany will clearly win the match as Australia is the weakest team in our group, so winning should be imperative, even though Mark (Webber) has a different opinion. But as we know, the both of us have lately had different opinions on things anyway." - Sebastian Vettel.

"I have one quote I very often read to myself from a very good friend: 'Forget the people around you now; remember the little boy who was racing in go-karts, what you were dreaming of and what he wanted to achieve one day and what was his goal. Race for him.'.

I fell in love with the sport, and I love racing. The satisfaction I get just going around in a Formula 1 car makes me smile. So if it is a bad day, you tend to say it's horrible and you don't enjoy it.

But if you had to pick between that and doing nothing, you would always pick that." - Sebastian Vettel

"What I admire are people who are grounded and resistant to all kinds of whisperings. Kimi Raikkonen, for example. You may like him or not, but he lives his way. He does what he has identified as worthy of him and is not trying to be everybody's darling.

At least he doesn't give that impression. He is straightforward and honest, and he tells you if he has a bad day. Period. He is real. He's not political.

He's never up to something. If he doesn't want to tell you something, he will say so and not hum and haw. He doesn't beat around the bush, never coming to the point." - Sebastian Vettel

"The moment money becomes your motivation; you are immediately not as good as someone who is stimulated by passion and internal will." - Sebastian Vettel

"The bottom line is that we might not be the safest, so there is always some risk, but we are ready to take that into account because we love racing and motor sports, which is dangerous." - Sebastian Vettel

"My new car's called 'Randy Mandy', which we decided on this morning. We all liked the name immediately - a good sign, I guess, but no, it's not named after a real girl."

"If the boat started shaking, we stayed on course and didn't lose focus. That made the difference." - Sebastian Vettel

"I remember my first test in F1. After five laps, I returned to the pits and tried to play it cool - 'Oh yeah, I'm fine, I'm on top of this - but I was utterly lost." - Sebastian Vettel

"Generally, I don't care about what people say. I have to be clear with myself. When everything goes well, people celebrate you; when you make mistakes, people criticize you." - Sebastian Vettel

"I don't care too much about what happened in the past. I prefer to focus on what is coming next and look forward to it." - Sebastian Vettel

"Like a ship, a car should be named after a girl as it's sexy. My original car was called Kate. But then it got smashed at the opening race in Australia. So we called this one Kate's Dirty Sister because it is more aggressive and faster." - Sebastian Vettel

"It's correct that I'm a terrible loser. Why should I lie? If I were good at losing, I wouldn't be in Formula 1. I think it's more honest to act how you really feel than pretending to be the smiling boy who isn't in the mood to smile." - Sebastian Vettel

"You can fulfill some things with money, but at the end of the day, these are not the things that make you happy. It is the small things that make life suitable. "- Sebastian Vettel

"All these lovely people saying I'm going to be world champion won't make me any faster; you have to believe it yourself." - Sebastian Vettel

"You can't always say what you'd like to say." - Sebastian Vettel

"At the end of your life, it's friendships, emotions, and thoughts that you take with you rather than what's in your bank account. So, even though people don't have a lot here, they are richer in many ways, and we can learn from that." - Sebastian Vettel
