Speaking about his time in India, Vettel narrated a story about an elephant on the road in India. He said things like these could only be witnessed in India.

“We won the championship in 2013. We had a little bit of a party in a bar and we had some drinks, and I had too many drinks. An then I have driven back at some point in the morning to the airport. And I was half dozing away hungover and not feeling so good.

“Then I said to my driver please don’t tell me I am that drunk there is an elephant on the road. And he(the driver) says no no there really is an elephant on the road. So I will never forget the elephant in the middle of the road. Only in India !”, Vettel said in a virtual session after Sochi GP.

Vettel won the Formula One Championship four times with Redbull and then switched to Ferrari. However, he could not achieve the same with Ferrari and will now join the renamed Aston Martin team from the next season.

The Indian Grand Prix was held at the Buddh International Circuit track at Gautam Buddh Nagar district of Uttar Pradesh. Formula One races were cancelled after a tax dispute with the Uttar Pradesh Government in 2015.
