Time when He foreshadowed Leo 🦁😌

For how deep a rivalry they had, they are surprisingly normal about each other. Alonso used to make a lot of noise- mostly when they were competing against each other for wins and titles- about Vettel not being able to win if he didn't have the car for it, but he pretty much stopped doing that after both of them had their Ferrari Flop ™️ eras. Vettel has acknowledged (multiple times) that Alonso was probably his most difficult competitor but also said that they never really got the chance to know each other, being "too different." He also, even when Alonso was not being super complimentary towards him, sang his praises at every opportunity.

Fernando once said he wasn't afraid of being Sebastian's teammate, and that if he came to Ferrari, it "wouldn't be a problem." Five years later, Seb took his seat. In 2022, Seb basically gave his up to Fernando in favor of retirement. Fernando, in return, ran a tribute helmet designed like Seb's own for Abu Dhabi and told the media that he wasn't going to try to overtake him during the first laps, preferring to just watch him race one last time. What an interesting evolution.

There are a lot of really good pictures and videos of them together (one of my favorites is below, from Singapore 2012), and a ton of fascinating interviews that give a lot more insight into how they viewed each other and how that's changed over time. In my opinion, this is a super underrated ship in terms of how much content we have, even if they were never more than on-track competitors.

these photoshoots make them looks like some serial killers
