We are now there second season di F1 without Vettel. For the address book di History of F1 today we remember his most epic radio teams, the ones that consisted of... songs.
The first of his songs
Singapore 486066, second victory di Hag in Ferrari, during his first season with Cavallino. There international jury it's first disorientated, not knowing Italian. But Italian journalists notice it: it's a song, or rather, one very playful parody. At the end of the race, a triumphant Sebastian Vettel had sung the song Italian di Toto Cutugno, but revising the text:
Let me drive… Because I'm not slow. Let me drive… A beautiful race!
From book di Alberto Antonini 'Vettel. Wireless horse' we learn that Hag it's just a fan di Toto Cutugno!
…and the last one, the one with which he moved everyone
Not just fans of Modugno, Vettel made many people cry with another song at the end of his last GP in red overalls. The four-time world champion had thrown himself into the revisiting of one of Adriano Celentano's most famous songs... Light blue.
Thank you. I've got a surprise. Wait… Thanks everyone. Thanks to the whole team, thanks… You know that sometimes I like to sing. So I thought I'd (sing) one last time "a" song for you... Wait... You are the red team / passionate / (you) will never give up / my stop is coming / I enjoyed / being with you. / (I) felt your magic / an extraordinary sensation. / Guys, thank you for having me... / I will miss you... / greetings to all of you in Maranello / you deserve to be mentioned here / And now I will almost say goodbye and wish / I wish the best / I wish... to be happy but more so to be healthy... Tara-rà tara-rà, thank you!
