"We both want a home win"
originally posted 12 July 2012 for Auto Bild Motorsport (x)
Tumblr media
Sebastian Vettel and Nico Rosberg are the top drivers of the 2012 F1 season, but they have never won their home race at Hockenheim. AUTO BILD MOTORSPORT met them for a double interview.
AUTO BILD MOTORSPORT: Mr. Vettel, Mr. Rosberg, camping is a must at the German Grand Prix: when was the last time you went camping?
Nico Rosberg (27): That wasn't so long ago. I was on the road with some friends in the south of France, in a jeep. We pitched a tent in the middle of the wilderness - among wild boars. That was quite funny.
Sebastian Vettel (25): It was a while ago. At the race track back then, we camped a lot. In Monaco this year, my parents were on the road again with the camper van. I often visited them there in the evenings. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time for a barbecue because I had to go to bed. But one or two jokes were made at the regulars' table.
Mr Rosberg, have you ever camped with your parents?
Rosberg: Once with my father. We went to the mountains together, pitched the tent and had a barbecue.
Could you imagine the two of you going camping together one day?
Vettel: We get on quite well, but would it be enough to share a tent?
Rosberg: Sebastian once said in a survey that he thought I was quite good-looking. That's why I'd have to be careful. Together with him in a tent, that could get dicey … (Vettel feels caught and has to smile.)
When did you two meet for the first time in the first place?
Rosberg: I know. It was at the A1 Ring during a Formula BMW test. I didn't get on well at all that day and my engineer kept telling me: "Look, Vettel, he drives curve one like this, curve two like this, you have to do that too!"
Vettel: I'd already seen Nico go karting. I knew him, but he didn't know me. Everyone knew him back then - because of his last name.
Were there prejudices against Nico Rosberg? Along the lines of: Here comes the son of the world champion?
Vettel: Of course there were prejudices about his father at the beginning. But if Nico's performance hadn't been right, he wouldn't have made it this far. Today, the name no longer plays a role.
The other way around, Mr. Rosberg: Wouldn't you rather have had a "normal" father who didn't know how to drive corners…?
Rosberg: No. As a child, it was great to see my father racing. I saw him in the DTM, drove through the Motodrom on the roof of his car at his last race in Hockenheim. That's when my passion for this sport blossomed. My father always helped me a lot, gave me great tips in the beginning. I'm very grateful to him for that.
Mr. Vettel, Nico once told us about an encounter with you at a BMW Christmas party. Do you remember when a 15-year-old boy with braces asked 17-year-old Nico Rosberg about his first Formula 1 test?
Vettel: Yes. I wanted to know everything from him. We'd heard so much about Formula 1 driving. That after a few laps your neck muscles go limp and you do everything you can not to let anything show. It was the same with my first time. I stepped on the gas and got a shock. I got another one the first time I braked.
Rosberg: I can confirm that. For me, it was also pure madness. I could have driven faster, but my body didn't allow it. At some point in the fast third corner in Barcelona, I was pushed into the cockpit because I could no longer resist the incredible forces acting on me. I couldn't really see where I was going anymore. My head was hanging between my legs.
Is that how you described it to Seb?
Rosberg: I was probably showing off, playing it cool and saying, "It wasn't all that bad!"
Vettel: I remember trying to brake late. It pushed me forward so much that I could only see the seat belts.
Mr. Rosberg, were you ever jealous of Sebastian? You were the youngest driver ever to drive a Formula 1 in an official test drive. That makes you predestined to become the youngest race winner and youngest world champion. And then a boy from Heppenheim comes along and becomes everything you had planned. Didn't that give you the willies?
Rosberg: No, zero, never. I analyzed my situation very soberly, learned to be patient and was always convinced that my time would come. That means that at some point I, too, will have the car with which you can win. Sebastian had that a little earlier and also put in hammer performances. That's why he deserves everything. But I never compared myself with him. There was no envy at all.
Mr. Vettel, do you actually have a poster of Nico hanging in your room now? (Vettel looks puzzled.) Well, as a child you had posters of Michael Schumacher. And Nico has pretty much run circles around your childhood idol in the last two years.
Rosberg: An honest answer, please!
Vettel: I haven't had those posters for a long time. I grew up with Michael as a child. He wasn't just my hero, but the hero of almost all young German kart drivers.
How do you rate Nico's performance compared to Michael's?
Vettel: First of all, Michael or even Kimi, who hasn't been in Formula 1 for two years, haven't forgotten anything. In Michael's case, his package was certainly not the best in the first two years of his comeback. But the comparison with his teammate is fair. Nico drives around with the same box and is eight times faster on average out of ten practice sessions. You have to acknowledge that and you can't beat around the bush.
Mr. Vettel, can you understand why Nico turned down an offer from Ferrari last season?
Vettel (looks puzzled): I only ever heard that in passing. Nico, is that true? Honest answer!
Rosberg: What's with the speculation? Now I have a top car in the form of the Silver Arrow.
Vettel: Nico really has a competitive car this year. You can understand the confidence he has in Mercedes.
Who's right now? For you, Mr. Vettel, Ferrari is the team with the biggest myth. But for Nico, it's Mercedes…
Vettel: Both. If you go by Formula 1 history alone, Ferrari has been around the longest. Mercedes in a different way, though. They are the two brands in general. Driving a Silver Arrow and being on a par with legends like Juan-Manuel Fangio is appealing. But it's very similar at Ferrari, as I said. This year, you both have a winning car.
According to your own statements, friendships among Formula 1 drivers are not even possible. Nevertheless, you get along quite well.
Vettel: They're not impossible, but you have to look at it this way: If all 24 Formula 1 drivers lived in the same village, they'd run into each other more often and go out for a drink together more often. But the reality is that we live in all directions and in the paddock everyone stays close to their team. And, just imagine: Someone takes a cell phone picture of our pub crawl and the next day we hit the wall. Then the media would say for two weeks: They don't take their job seriously.
Rosberg: In addition, you deal with a teammate differently because the competitive pressure in your own team is extremely high.
Isn't the competition between you already great because you're both German?
Rosberg: That doesn't matter to me. Sebastian is just as much a competitor for me as anyone else.
You are not only German, but also Hessian.
Rosberg: Yes, that too. Although I speak better Hessian than Sebastian.
Vettel: I don't believe that. I recently had dinner with Timo (Glock). That was very funny, a trip back to the deepest Odenwald. The rest of Germany would have needed subtitles to understand us. (Vettel says something in deepest Hessian. It is absolutely not to understand).
Rosberg: I give up, I understood practically nothing. But my mother also taught me something in Hessian.
Vettel: Let's hear it!
Rosberg: Ey Sina, da kannst net neingehe, da fliege die Zäh, da glaubst, es dät schneie. (Sina, you can't go in there. Teeth fly so fast you'll think it's snowing!) It was about a fight at the disco.
Vettel: I got it. But, Nico, it's not really fluid yet. You can still work on it.
What makes you extremely different is the way you deal with your girlfriends. You, Mr. Rosberg, are open about it: Your girlfriend Vivian is often in the paddock and takes part in your professional life. It's different for you, Mr. Vettel. You hide your girlfriend Hanna as much as possible.
Vettel: Everyone does what they think is right. You can't say that's right or wrong!
Rosberg: Actually, I always want to keep that separate, too, but on the other hand it's also nice when my girlfriend is there.
Nevertheless, do you accept that, as a public figure, you sometimes have to live with people taking an interest in your private life?
Vettel: In a way, yes. We're both extremely lucky that we've been able to turn our great passion into a career. But that's exactly the point: It's also our job. We come to the race track in the morning, have to get our things done, and that goes on late into the evening. Who else brings their wife to the office? And the racetrack is our office in a way.
So who will win at Hockenheim?
Rosberg: Sebastian, have you ever won in Germany?
Vettel: No.
You've just poked a deep wound, Mr. Rosberg.
Vettel: It would be great for the fans and Germany if one of us could make it. But unfortunately it's not that easy - there are 22 others in the race.
Which of you two has the better chance of winning at Hockenheim?
Vettel: I hope I do…
Rosberg: Nah, I think I do. I've got the Mercedes engine in the back and Hockenheim has some long straights.
Vettel: Yes, that's true, unfortunately.
What we notice, Mr. Vettel, Mr. Rosberg: As nice and familiar you are with each other, you could easily drive in a team, couldn't you?
Rosberg: Yes, definitely.
Vettel: Then camping would also work out. In separate tents, of course.

Been in a sico mood ever since I read some lore yesterday (thank u esteemed nicologist @/distantlaughter, what shall we ever do without you)...
THIS is what big brocedes + big sewis are hiding from you!!!!! The messages are so sweet I am on my knees... Nico putting two exclamaton marks after Seb's name (spelled out in full, Sebastian instead of Seb) & writing "get the thing"!! Seb's "dear nico" and "your year"!!! I'm so fond of the little germans :)))

brocedes + 6:39 am
It's 6.39 AM and Lewis can't sleep.
That's not accurate. He hasn't been able to sleep throughout the whole night. He dozed off last night, a little nap around 10 PM. He was supposed to go out to some club, but when he woke up it was already past one and he didn't feel like moving. His phone showed him too many missed calls and messages, but he didn't feel like dealing with them, so he just - didn't. He got up, went to the bathroom to brush his teeth, and he went back to bed to go back sleep.
It didn't happen.
Nothing was bothering him and everythibg was bothering him. The contract extension, the car, the season. His team, his teammate, his boss. Everything was fine and it was all shit and Lewis couldn't sleep because all was fine and all was absolute shit. He tossed and turned. He played music. He lay in silence. He meditated.
None of it helped even a lick.
So it's 6.39 and Lewis is in the elevator in his running gear, because maybe if he goes for a run and sees the sun rising over Monaco he'll feel better and he may finally sleep. Perhaps. He has obligations today, too many messages to answer, and an agreement to go get lunch with Seb, who was also in Monaco for some reason he hasn't yet shared with Lewis.
It's 6.39 and the elevator door opens and before Lewis can take a step forward, Nico is there.
There is a smile on his face and Lewis' stomach does that twisting thing it always does when they stumble upon each other, given that they still live in the same building, no matter that Lewis usually isn't in Monaco.
(He should move. It's somehow never a priority.)
Nico's hair is mussed up and his collar is crooked. It's obvious that he was just coming home from partying. His eyes widen a little when he sees Lewis.
"Oh," he breathes more than says, and Lewis knows he's taken aback. "Lewis. Good morning."
Nico's voice is flat. He rolls his shoulders but doesn't move. Lewis blinks. There is a hickey on the side of Nico's neck, barely visible and half covered by Nico's shirt. It's a nice shirt. Lewis thinks it's Armani.
"Good morning," Lewis says. "Good party last night?"
He doesn't know why he asks. He hadn't slept and he isn't thinking.
There are lines on Nico's face when he smiles now. "Yes," he chuckles. "Very... productive."
That can mean anything. Lewis is too tired to try and figure it out. He's been to tired to try and figure Nico out for a long while.
Nico's eyes fly over Lewis' form. "Sleepless night?" he asks in return, and Lewis wants to punch him.
"Nah, just, you know," Lewis replies with a smile. "Making the most of the day."
He can't be here anymore. The door starts closing and they both reach for it at the same time from opposite sides. Their eyes briefly meet as they exchange places. Lewis can smell the alcohol and the club and sex and pine and cigarettes on Nico as he exits the elevator as Nico takes his place.
"Good night," he says.
"Good day," Nico replies, pushing the button for his floor.
Lewis doesn't look back. He starts running the moment he exits the building and doesn't stop until he's all the way above on the hill. The sun sgines down on him as he pants and teies to catch his breath. He checks his watch.
It's stuck on 6.39 AM. He must have forgotten to charge it last night.
He takes the long way home.
-
"It's good to see you, Lewis," Seb says, smile wide and uneven in the Monte Carlo twilight, his arms open for a hug.
"It's good to see you too," Lewis says sincerely and steps into the hug. "What are you doing here?" he asks, but before he can finish the queation fully, his stomach turns.
Seb smells of pine. He's always smelled of pine, like that deodorant he's been using his whole life.
Seb pulls back from the hug first. "Oh, you know," he says with eyes and smile full of mirth. "Checking up on some investments."
Lewis forces himself to smile.
"Come on, we'll be late for the reservation," he says, checking his watch.
It's still stuck on 6.39 AM.
He forgot to charge it.

Chinese Grand Prix 2016 cool-down room. everyone remembers the iconic seb blowing up at kyvat but before that he actually congratulates nico in german, needs to get his attention like 4 times. (there's also a longstanding belief that nico spoke in german in cooldown rooms only to mind game lewis, but it's actually seb who would start speaking to nico in german first)
rough translation because nico's voice is muffled and seb swallows half his words:
seb: (FOUR TIMES) nico, you won't be able to sleep tonight huh? - you won't be able to sleep tonight, 'cause you're so well rested - I said, you won't be able to sleep tonight, you're so well rested, it was so quiet up front/you were so untroubled up front...
nico: something was possible today lol
and then seb turns to kyvat to yell at him in English 😭😭 (and here's Nico's reaction)

So I was promised to have help to get my stuff out of storage before the bill hit again. It's my birthday month and after paying everyone back and paying bills I'll have almost nothing.
I was ghosted on the help and just had to pay the $160 bill again.
If I could get some help with that I'd truly appreciate it. Single disabled queer parent, I make $760 a month.

last night i was going nuts thinking abt ballet au sico so let us review the material
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
sebastian vettel: protege of the schumacher grant for young dancers. discovered from the german countryside, he is the opposite of everything a ballet dancer should be offstage, but onstage hes an uncaged animal, a culmination of raw talent, an obsession with theory and technique and a reverence for the history and tradition of ballet. never shows up to rehearsals on time (theyve had to give him fake earlier calltimes), probably picks his nose between barre exercises, flirts with all the girls AND boys. nico hates him for it. and he has horrendous posture whenever hes not dancing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
nico rosberg: legacy dancer obviously, he could probably do an eight count before he could walk. grew up inside dance studios and lived between monaco and moscow but technically is german. perfect prim and proper ballerino. in his spare time he learns the girl parts just because, and when he was a kid he threw a fit when he found out boys dont dance pointe. has a weird (onesided 👀) obsession with seb bc of how weird he is. has perfect posture to the point its uncanny and probably has never relaxed a muscle in his life.

Are you thinking about how during the Abu Dhabi 2016 press conference Seb defended Nico twice, saying that you don’t win the Championship by luck and that Nico won the Championship that day? He said Nico is a deserved champion and sometimes you have better years in this regard, sometimes worse years but he thinks today is Nico’s day and it’s a sign of respect and greatness to give him that. He thinks they owe it to him, he’s a deserved champion. And before that, he said that he tried to be respectful of Nico and Lewis' battle even with Lewis pushing Nico into the pack, and in response to Lewis saying: "Just trying to help you out buddy", he said, I quote: "Yeah, I’m sure you would have waved me past as well."
...or are you normal?
