#AbuDhabiGP #SV5 #Vettel podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f1-…
Q: How scary is the prospective of life without F1?
#SV5: “unknown that’s how I feel! It’s a fantastic world that can get you in it and stay forever. Obviously I can’t drive forever…
I am a racing driver yes but when I get home I enjoy the bits of life..there is always more..”
“There is always more to life and more to enjoy other than the racing world,which obviously has consumed me,I’ve been obsessed with it most of my life. I’m sad that I don’t have the adrenaline rush anymore,not to have the competition the feeling of pushing myself, the car…”
“There is always a time for an athlete to move on, being ambitious,try to push limits, you can always challenge out side the car. I don’t think I will be among the best in the world, that’s the wrong approach but that’s what I’m going to explore”
Q:you want to see the kids grow, do you wanna see them race?
#SV5:”I don’t know that’s up to them. It’s for them to decide, we will go outside and do karting and racing for fun and it’s enjoyable. It sounds so empty but I want them to be happy whatever they choose”
“I don’t have any expectations, I don’t want my children to go to university and get a degree to be something special, and if we can assist them do what they love then I think that’s a great purpose. There is so much I can learn with them. But I will not live their lives”
Q: was that (AbuDhabi 2010) the most satisfying?
#SV5: “Yeah it was. the first one such a milestone plus that pressure once you win a race you get a sorts of expectations to win more consistent to win the championship once that was off my shoulders it was a great feeling”
Q: You talked about that anger/ frustration when you didn’t win, how did that manifest it self?
“As I child I was just angry/upset, hard to talk to, got into little fights with my father who was my mechanic in go kart. It never lasted a long time I turned the page very quickly”
“Initially I was angry with myself but also wondering what did missed and what I can do better then channeling it into something positive. Obviously later on working with more experienced people you try to understand,analysis and why.I always liked the rationale solution….”
