Formula 1 is currently on their annual summer break and hosted their event 'Grill the Grid' where they host F1 drivers and ask them various questions. Sebastian Vettel was asked to name every F1 driver Champion in the history of the sport and he did not disappoint as he went on the name every single one of them and made no mistake in doing so. The Aston Martin driver can name all 71 World Champions plus the years they became champions.
From Hamilton in 2020, all the way to Farina in 1950 🤯

How far could you get naming every #F1 champion back-to-back? Take it away, Seb... pic.twitter.com/fWjNuPacuH
Daniel Ricciardo had earlier said in a similar video that Vettel is "quite a nerd" when it comes to F1 trivia. No one came close to him with Max Verstappen coming second having guessed 38 correctly and George Russell managed to name 34. Yuki Tsunoda was the worst off managing only two correct answers.
Vettel disqualified from Hungarian GP
The four-time Drivers' Championship winner was disqualified from the Hungarian Grand Prix after an FIA technical delegate could not extract a sufficient fuel sample from his race car. Vettel had finished the race in second place, but due to a disqualification, he will not get any points. As a result, Aston Martin F1 immediately confirmed their intention to appeal against his disqualification but that was later denied after careful consideration.
FIA were unable to extract the required 1.0-litre fuel sample from his car. However, Aston Martin released a statement on Thursday night, highlighting that their data showed that a sufficient amount of fuel was still left in the car. Moreover, they also mentioned that they had "discovered significant new evidence," which is why they were interested in continuing with their appeal.
