Vettel explains what makes Ferrari so special

Sebastian Vettel has been the main driver at Ferrari ever since he joined the team in 2015, and even though he's yet to win a championship with the Italians, he explains why the team is so special.

Vettel was brought in from Red Bull to end the drought of championships Ferrari is still in, as they haven't won any of the two titles in ten years. The German is now in his most competitive season since he joined the team, as he is only 24 points behind Lewis Hamilton. Vettel led the chart until his home race in Hockenheim, where he threw away all 25 points by crashing his Ferrari in the rain.

"From the first day I entered Ferrari at the end of 2014, I felt that the spirit of the founder, the spirit of Enzo Ferrari, was present everywhere in Maranello," the four-time champion told GPfans.

"I was born in 1987, just a year before Enzo Ferrari's death, so naturally I have never been able to meet him in person and today I can only imagine what our meeting would have been like.

"But I know I really wanted to know him, because I think he was a special person, a man with a vision: and this vision is still present today in the company and in the Scuderia he founded.

"The people who work here, regardless of their role, feel this presence and work with more passion. 

"This is what makes Ferrari special, which makes Ferrari different from any other team: Ferrari is a myth for everyone.

"For me it has been since I was a child, and the red car was always my favourite or later, when I followed Schumacher's path with Ferrari.

"Ferrari is a myth and Ferrari's Formula 1 steering wheels are only two, so I consider it a privilege and an honour to be a Scuderia Ferrari driver."
