Social Media is also in the formula 1, fully in the Trend. Even the initially skeptical Kimi Raikkonen is thawed on the subject of Instagram #AND# co.. Only one denied the issue continues to be consistent: Sebastian Vettel. But that should change, finds Ex-world champion Mika Häkkinen.

“If he talks about himself and his family, or about the racing, then he really is a great guy,” said the Finn in the Podcast ‘F1 Nation’. But the fact that Vettel is not communicating with his Fans via the media and in press conferences, “that’s enough”.

“I give him advice on what he should do differently. But I would hope that he gives the Public more of the price,” said Hakkinen more. Because then you would have a better understanding of who Sebastian Vettel is. He is sure: “The Fans would love that.”

The question is whether it comes too late. Because if the German continues in the coming year in formula 1, is more than questionable. After six years, he and his Ferrari Team our separate ways.

And that has to do for Häkkinen little to do with his age or athletic performance. “I have the feeling that he was disappointed with Ferrari pretty. The joy of Teamwork was not the case of Vettel there,” so his judgment.

“He didn’t feel comfortable in the Team, because he was constantly criticized extremely hard. I think, in a Team of this type of pressure and criticism, must be distributed on several shoulders. It is never only a debt.”
