Confessiamo la nostra totale ignoranza, anche perché solitamente guardiamo a quanto accade in pista più che alle vite private dei piloti e al gossip: non sapevamo che nel 2014 Sebastian Vettel avesse avuto un figlio. E oggi Bernie Eccletone a dare un’indiscrezione, secondo cui il vincitore di Sepang starebbe per diventare papà per la seconda volta. Insomma, questo paddock presto si trasformerà in un asilo nido! Piccoli Campioni di domani in arrivo… E comunque, detto inter nos, se avete una cosa da tenere riservata non andate a dirla a Mr E!

All is well in the world of Sebastian Vettel. The German broke Mercedes’ run of dominance on Sunday, and ended Ferrari’s victory drought, in just the second race of his new contract reportedly worth a staggering $54 million per year. Even Vettel’s personal life seems to be racing ahead perfectly. He lives very privately in Switzerland with his partner Hanna, and last year they became parents with the birth of their first child, Emilie.
“Sebastian seems to be a very happy man,” F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone, who is famously close to the quadruple world champion, said. “He will be a father for the second time and his car is obviously quick,” the 84-year-old told Germany’s Bild am Sonntag newspaper. Vettel’s spokeswoman would not confirm the happy news, saying only: “As far as I know, the two of them (Vettel and Ecclestone) have not spoken.”
