Sebastian Vettel gives perfect speech as he signs off at end of remarkable F1 career

As he so often does, Sebastian Vettel found the perfect words as he signed off from Formula 1 after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

The German retired from the sport with a 10th-place finish at the Yas Marina Circuit, scoring one last point. He was able to do that courtesy of a late hydraulics problem for Lewis Hamilton, who was forced to head to the pits permanently with just a few laps left of the race.

After completing the race, Vettel delighted the fans on the home straight with some doughnuts in his Aston Martin. He then clambered out of the car to wave to them and take their applause, before picking up a microphone and, without hesitation, finding the words to sign off in a memorable way.
