Backstory:
TL:DR Simply barely managed to get Seb to autograph my reproduction helmet in his final look as a Ferrari driver at COTA!
I needed a full sized reproduction helmet for awhile however I couldn’t determine which one to go together with. I lastly landed on Vettel’s 2015 Italian GP helmet as a result of I like the chrome theme to it. The chrome actually pops! It arrived a month earlier than the Grand Prix and I used to be desperate to take it to the race. My girlfriend, her service canine Cota (named after the monitor!), and myself confirmed up early to the autograph session and waited for finger boy to point out up haha. Whereas ready we met different drivers like Bottas, Hamilton (acquired a hat signed by him!), the Pink Bull boys, Williams guys, and Alfa drivers. Then the Ferrari drivers confirmed up and we began getting overwhelmed with pleasure. They have been being interviewed on stage, however when the interview was over as an alternative of strolling off stage and going from left to proper to signal autographs they hoped off the center of the stage and began signing. So we acquired fearful we wouldn’t get their autographs. Leclerc came visiting and shook Cota’s paw (so cool!!) and signed our stuff. This was really captured within the Ferrari episode of Drive To Survive season 2! Vettel needed to cease his autograph session early and began strolling away. Simply as he was strolling by us I exclaimed “please signal my helmet!”. He noticed it out of the nook of his eye and came visiting and signed it! I used to be overjoyed! I’ve met him a number of occasions however each single time it’s a whirlwind. He’s simply as good in individual as on television. Superior man!
