Berlin (AP) - Racing driver Sebastian Vettel (32) wants to pass the time as a hobby mechanic in the Formula 1 forced break.
"It is probably good to deal with nuts and bolts and a little restoration work so you don't go crazy," said the Hesse in a video post by his Ferrari team, where he answered some fan questions. He hoped that he would get on working on his old motorcycle. "It looks like we have a little more free time," said Vettel.
Because of the coronavirus pandemic, Formula 1 canceled or postponed all races until at least the beginning of June. Ferrari, like other teams, is currently in the early works holiday.
When asked by a fan what advice he would currently give people, Vettel said: "Take it seriously, take care of yourself and other people, especially the elderly, keep your distance and wash your hands. Don't take it lightly , be responsible. "
