Sebastian Vettel admits he is relieved that Monza looks to be back on track with a new three-year grand prix race deal and says that the F1 calendar without the iconic venue would be unthinkable.
Vettel told Corriere della Sera, “I could never imagine F1 without Monza. It would be a nightmare. I can’t wait to be back on track with all those fans, the passion, the banners, the children and adults who queue for an autograph or selfie. It’s magic.”
“The emotions here are incredible. You stand on the grid and people left and right are happy to be part of it,” added Vettel who scored his first grand prix win at the venue for Toro Rosso back in 2008.
Vettel, like most of the F1 drivers, was aggrieved about the prospect of Monza being ditched and said at the time, “If we take this away from the calendar for any shitty money reason you are basically ripping our hearts out. The emotions here are incredible.”
Since his victory in 2008, Vettel also won at the venue in 2011 and 2013 as a Red Bull driver. But he has yet to stand on the top step of the podium at Ferrari’s home track, although last year he was second.
