Vettel suprises drivers in Brazil

Vettel helps refuel cars at Shell station

Four-time World Champion and Scuderia Ferrari Driver Sebastian Vettel delighted Shell customers in Sao Paulo on Wednesday morning when he made a surprise visit to a filling station ahead of this weekend’s Brazilian Grand Prix.

Customers in need of some Shell V-Power unleaded fuel were amazed to see the 42-time Grand Prix winner waiting to help fill up their cars during their morning commute at a filling station only a stone’s throw away from the world famous Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace venue.

"Motorsport fans in Brazil are some of the most passionate we see on the Formula 1 calendar so it was great to surprise a few of them when they were least expecting it – when filling their cars up with fuel at a Shell station. I always enjoy racing in front of the fans here in Brazil and I hope we are able to give them a good show this weekend. With only two races to go this season I will be looking for a strong result here in Sao Paulo to help finish the year on a positive."
