Alonso to pay tribute to Vettel with special helmet in Abu Dhabi

Fernando Alonso et Sebastian Vettel experienced one of the most beautiful rivalries in the history of the Formula 1. The two drivers battled for a long time for the world championship, between 2010 and 2013, with two epic outcomes in 2010 and 2012. The Spaniard at Ferrari, the German at Red Bull : the adversity between the two world champions marked an era. Almost 10 years later, Sebastian Vettel will leave the world of F1 while the Spaniard persists, despite a two-season break.

The Bull of Asturias, who maintains a good relationship with the German driver, will pay tribute to him for his last Formula 1 race, at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The Iberian will wear a special helmet which features the iconic black-red-yellow tricolor stripe of the German flag, specific to Sebastian Vettel's helmet. On the side, an inscription: “Danke Seb! » [Thank you Seb!], with a German flag and the logo of the quadruple world champion.

On social networks, Fernando Alonso also had a little message for his rival and friend. “Danke Seb!” [Thank you Seb!] One last time I share the track with you, it will be moving and sad at the same time, but I wish you the best for your next chapter. » A nice tribute from the pilot Alpine who will take the German's place at Aston Martin next year.
