Seb Vettel showed how a true F1 world champion behaves at all times, unlike Hamilton, he helped to pick up litter after Silverstone had finished and while I usually disagree with bringing politics into sport, Seb was the one who immediately said that he would not race in Sochi beacuse of the invasion of Ukraine, long before the FIA said that they would ban the race. Hamilton would most likely have been happy to go there, as long as they all wore strange clothing and hairstyles and knelt for twice as long as he used to like everyone to do.
