I wish that sometimes it just wouldn t swing as high and as low - Sebastian Vettel on retiring from F1

Vettel out there playing survival mode last year Vettel out there playing survival mode last year replied in the negative and elaborated that it was a decision he had thought over for a while and not made emotionally or in haste. He : "No. It's funny you say that? I think it's maybe… I don't know if it's a thing in Formula 1 or is it a general thing in our lives nowadays that we… to answer your question: no. I thought about this decision long and hard and from a lot of angles. But yeah, I don't know if… I find it's a bit sad that we tend to swing so much now." He continued: "I see the benefits of having emotions running high and low rather than just being flat but I think the judging in general, it's a bit too quick. We create a hype and too quickly we create like a massive – I don't want to say disappointment and not because of my situation now, the last races versus maybe the mid part of the season – so it's more of a general thing."

He said: "Yeah, I obviously enjoyed the last two races, last couple of races more than I did maybe some in the mid-part of the season, but they have no impact on the decision. And if anything it’s a great reminder of why I love this sport so much, why I love racing so much." "I had great races, and I really enjoyed them, but I also had races that I didn't enjoy so much, and I was wishing after five laps to see the chequered flag, and it didn't come out.

Sebastian Vettel hoping to carry momentum into next few races

He continued: "Austin, in particular, we’ve been very competitive, been more competitive than Alpine and McLaren for the first time this year, which was a very good and positive surprise and we hope to keep that up but we have to be realistic. This is a different track so we will see how we get on but just looking forward to hopefully sense a good car underneath me and enjoy the racing that I have left." Vettel's race in Mexico will be the last time he will race at the circuit. He has had a few podium finishes but has not won. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Thank You!
