F1: After F1 Vettel plans to be a carpenter

Following Sebastian Vettel’s retirement announcement, many have come up with suggestions as to what the four-time World Champion may do next. Beekeeping? Tree Hugger? Garbage Collector? Instagram influencer?

Speaking in an interview with the German national weekly newspaper, Die Zeit, Vettel said, “I really like tinkering with wood. Who knows, maybe I’ll do an apprenticeship as a carpenter. Possibly, I’ll just build chairs. I like farming. That interested me more and more in the past few years.”

Seb’s father is also a carpenter by trade, so an apprenticeship in carpentry is possibly a way of spending more time with his Dad, Norbert.
