Fernando Alonso vowed to "take care" of Sebastian Vettel during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix – the German's final race in Formula 1.
Vettel will bow out of the sport as a four-time world champion, and there were emotional scenes on the grid before the race at the Yas Marina circuit. He went over to fist bump and greet every other driver as they all wished the extremely popular four-time world champion well for the future.
And for the race itself, Alonso suggested he and everyone else on the track will take extra care not to ruin Vettel's final F1 farewell. "Yeah, I was very happy," said the Spaniard when asked for his response to the 35-year-old's impressive performance in his final qualifying session.
