  13. “Hey Felipe, I found you a drive for next year.”

  14. After collecting the patient from the accident site, Sebastian Vettel inadvertently parked his ambulance in the Mcdonalds car park, several kilometres away from the hospital.

    1. Excellent!

  58. Let me make it perfectly clear: I just don’t trust the halo.

  59. “I heard Maldonado is coming back.”

  60. After having a heart attack, Bernie asks Vettel to drive the ambulance.

    Vettel revs the engine turns and tells the fans ” Don’t worry, I’ll ditch him in the woods”.

  61. “Mercedes power!! Yes yes yes and yes again!”

  88. This time the seagulls weren’t so lucky

    As Vettel stops and answers to the press , Ross Brawn sneak in of back of the ambulance as it’s heading to Maranello.

    1. Well maybe it would be better just to say:

      Vettel, as always preparing for every eventuality, practicing ‘mirror mirror shoulder checks’ in case he comes near Rosberg…

  102. Due to lack of winning, Ferri decided to check in Seb to rehab to be rehabilitated.
