Sebastian Vettel, who has won the Formula One world championship four times while driving for the Red Ball team, has chosen to wear a new helmet during tomorrow’s (Sunday) Mexican Grand Prix in memory of the late Ditrich Mattecits, who was instrumental in founding and owning Red Ball.
Matchitz died last Saturday at the age of 78, and Vettel decided to wear a helmet bearing the Red Bull logo, and the phrase “Thank you Didi”, despite his current team, Aston Martin, was not attached to the company “Red Ball” for energy drinks.
Between 2010 and 2013, Vettel won four World Championship championships with the Red Ball team before watching his career come to an end with the Ferrari and Aston Martin teams.
Sebastian Vettel, 35, will conclude his career at the conclusion of the current campaign.
