(Motorsport-Total.com) – Martin Brundle’s interview with Sebastian Vettel at the Hungarian Mountainous Prix made for most of the headlines before it even went ahead. Because Brundle warfare in an are residing broadcast on ‘Sky’ slipped out that Vettel had asked him for the interview – modified into stimulated the imagination of many Formula 1 fans and sparked speculation that Vettel could announce his resignation in the interview.
In the end everything was quite harmless. The outgoing Ferrari star used the platform to continue his flirtation with Purple Bull and to apologize to Dietrich Mateschitz as he left the group end 2014 towards Ferrari Has. But otherwise, Vettel did not reveal anything groundbreaking in the interview.
Two weeks after it was conducted, Brundle reveals for the first time in detail how the interview really came about. He replies to a question from ‘Motorsport-Total.com’: “I met him on the corner at the TV compound [in Spielberg] and he was just going somewhere. With masks and spacing, of course. And he said: ‘Leave us alone Do an interview, let us do an interview. ‘”
” Then I said:’ Ok, then we’ll do it. And he replied: ‘You can think of that!’ “Says Brundle. It was not planned that he would talk about the chance encounter with Vettel afterwards on the air, and in retrospect a mistake. Because Brundle’s thoughtless statement suddenly made the rounds on the web.
Vettel tells a different version than Brundle
By the way, Vettel’s presentation is different from that of Brundle. He told ‘F1-Insider.com’: “Actually, an interview with Sky was planned in Austria. We had to postpone that in favor of ORF to Hungary. That was what the conversation with Brundle was about and nothing else. That was a little exaggerated.”
At least on the last point, Vettel and Brundle agree: “All of this was made for: ‘Sebastian Vettel will resign because he asked Brundle for an interview.’ Clever, and all because of my own stupidity, because I was reside on air warfare and I didn’t have that on the screen. Nothing more warfare there. As is so often the case with these stories, the drop. “
In retrospect, the expert had the opportunity to deal with the Vettel interview: “I think it was 19 minutes, “he says. “I took away from it that I think he wants to continue. As long as he finds a cockpit with which he can win. I don’t think he wants to drive in the middle of the field, just to stay in Formula 1 somehow.”
Vettel: The adult among the boys?
“For example, I asked him what it was like to be unable to control his own destiny. He always had everything under control in his career, and now suddenly no longer. His The answer surprised me because he said he found it exciting, “says Brundle. “I think he’s a very down-to-earth and pragmatic guy.”
“We don’t know much about him because he doesn’t do social media stuff. I have my interviews with him more and more always enjoyed it. I think I once described him as an adult in a posting. That’s how I see him sometimes: as an adult among all the boys. He is now motivated to the point where he has to find out for himself, modified into him and modified into not. “
Used to be and Brettle doesn’t know where Vettel will end up. There are two options in the rumor mill: racing level or a return to the Purple Bull family. “I think,” says Brundle, “that he has the Racing Level option, Aston Martin, Mercedes-B-Group … I think he is seriously considering it.”
