Sebastian Vettel Honors Michael Schumacher with Emotional Demo Run at Monza

During the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, Sebastian Vettel performed a demo run in the Ferrari F2002, honoring his friend Michael Schumacher. This event coincided with the 30th anniversary of Schumacher's debut with Ferrari in 1996.

Vettel completed several laps in the iconic F2002, a car that achieved remarkable success under the leadership of Jean Todt and Ross Brawn, contributing to Schumacher's impressive record of 11 wins in 2002. The emotional tribute was particularly poignant as Schumacher has not been seen publicly since a skiing accident in December 2013.

After the run, Vettel expressed a mix of emotions, feeling both joy from driving the car and sadness over Schumacher's absence. He reflected on the car's legacy and the spirit of Schumacher, stating that he felt his presence during the laps. Vettel, who raced for Ferrari from 2015 to 2020, emphasized the significance of the moment and his pride in honoring Schumacher's memory.
