Sebastian Vettel's departure from Formula 1 broke many a racing heart. To ease this feeling - or perhaps exacerbate it a little - Aston Martin came out with an emotional youtube video about the last chapter of Vettel's career: For One Last Time.

The video is touching: it features interviews with people close to the 35-year-old German, reflecting on his life and career (including his famed PR manager Britta Roeske). The German himself also talks about his experiences, both at terminal Aston Martin and in general. The melancholic music and high-quality footage add to this. A real tearjerker, but in the right way.

The video highlights the German's good heart

Above all, Vettel's good heart, talent and work ethic are highlighted in the video, and, as surreal as it is that Formula 1 will have to go on without the man often described as a legend, it is not the last we will see of him.

“I think it’s the beginning. I always look forward to the next thing, and I think any sportsman or sportswoman has the actual real, or the bigger task or challenge ahead of them once they retire.”

With a length of 24 minutes, the video is a short but powerful must-see for any fan of racing.
