During Sebastian’s early days in Formula1, he was a hot-headed bloke who was hated by most of the Formula1 fans, but ever since the last few years, he has managed to become one of the most adored racing drivers on the Formula1 grid. With age, he has developed himself into a more down-to-earth person who now prefers simple things over the flashy stuff that he was fond of early in his Formula1 career.

While talking about Greta Thunberg Sebastian has said “It is encouraging to see that she is fighting for our future with such determination. A real example that the whole world should follow and, above all, older men should pay more attention. But there are many role models, many inspiring people. I always find it hard to name a name.”

The former RedBull world champion has opened up on his decision to leave Ferrari and has said that it had nothing to do with his growing interest in social matters. “I didn’t have to change teams,” he said.

He has further added “I think I have just gotten older. Even as a father, views, and opinions shift. You take on responsibility and grow with it. In addition, I’m naturally curious and open to other opinions. I find this process natural and completely independent of my team or profession.”

At Aston Martin, he has got the liberty to pursue his environmental interests with full freedom as the drivers don’t have to deal with the pressure of fighting at the front end of the grid. Over the course of last season, they have easily become a mid-table team and the pressure in the middle half is relatively less as compared to people fighting at the front.
