Bottas💞: "For sure after F1 I will drive something because I just love driving!"

Ocon: "Can you teach me rally, Valtteri?"

Congrats Seb, on an amazing career. I’m very happy to have shared the ജtrack with you, let’s make your last raceꦕs great once more

— Max Verstappen (@Max33Verstappen)

Ricciardo: “Life would be less chaotic! The schedu💦le, how long the♎ calendar is, that would be the biggest change. Everything would slow down a lot.”

Albon: “I am not looking too far into retirement. You have to look at it a little bit. I will look for a cottage.♏.. it will be very nice.”

Ocon: “I don't want to think about it at the moment. After F1, you have many cool s🍌eries to try, many different cars to exp𓃲erience. Le Mans is shaping up impressively with lots of cool brands.”

"I am not looking too far into the future, to retirement. I will look for a cottage in the Co♕tswolds!"

“I can'tඣ believe I can say it. I have a contract, s🌊o I am all good.”

"Aston Martin are a great team. They are expanding. But the focus right now is on tᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚhis year. I'll leave it as that."

"Always a good driver to rac🐈e against and race ✨with. With him, there's always respect, he's always going to race hard but fair. Really enjoyed the battles. Such a nice guy, one of those drivers that's not afraid of speaking.”

"A legend of our sport. Before I came to F1, he was one of the dri🗹vers I was looking to, taking inspiration from. He was so young when he was successful.

"A real legend. I too, wish him all the best."

"This was𝔍 not the thought that I had when I spoke to Seb abo♎ut his future.

"I hope he doesn't stay too far from the paddock.⛄"

"You know in a way it's sad of course beca♏use you're losing a bit of a legend of the sport.

"It's one of those ones you're sad but also happy for him to sta🌃rt 'chapter two' of his life!"

"He is one of very few multiple-time world cham🅘pions. There is a reason for th🔯at. 

"What he does off the track is also inspiring.

"I've heard he's just got🅷 an Instagram account whichꦚ is exciting!"

"Pretty impressed with the beard he's🐬 got going at the moment..."

"12 races. Maybe [a total] 𒁃of 16? Pick the good tracks. Leave the others out!

Stroll: "The cars are too heavy. I would like to see that improved in the coming ye🏅ars. Off the top of my head, that's something that would be nice to improve to make the cars a bit more enjoyable, nimble to drive."

"In general they behaved quite well. J🐲ust a few individuals did not. I hope that is different♔, this time."

"I remember that day like it was yesterday, meeting Lewis, he was a su𒉰perhero to me. It was 13 years ago but it feels like yesterday. Just make the most of the one you life you have so that photo [with Lewis] is a reminder to me."

"We all know the intellect Sebastian has. Sharing quite a fe𒁃w meetings with him behind the scenes, talking with the F🔜IA or whoever, you do learn how much knowledge he has.

"I am sure that also goes into the technical side. Above all, he's a gr💮eat bloke, a great human being. We lack a lot of people like Seb in the world. He will be missed."

"It is𝕴 tr⛄ue that we need help from Red Bull with reliability and DNFs."

𓂃"If you know me, I will not be laying on the beac💫h!

"I don't care about the points gap. It is about🦂 being perfect every weekend. I won't reꦍlax.

"I want to win more races."

"Such an inspiration and humble bloke. No one has got a bad word to say about Seb. He's gooꦑd fun to be around. He will be looking forward to everything he's got planned in the future.

"As I said, an inspiration."

"He is a great personalityꦡ and 💛a good ambassador for F1.

"I am lucky that I have been close to him. I have learned lots of things from him - driving behin🍎d him or in fro꧙nt of him."
