Sebastian Vettel and his Texan accent go viral on social media

Formula One fans love to have a good laugh as they root for their favorite drivers during a race. So, when this video of Vettel speaking in a Southern drawl surfaced on the Internet, the fans lapped it up and made it go viral.

In the video, Sebastian says, “Yeah, the rear of the car was getting’ all loosey-doosey in the last sector there.” The then-Ferrari prodigy then grinned at his own imitation of the Texan accent as his interviewers were thrown into bouts of laughter.

Seb is known for his paddock antics

Sebastian Vettel is one of the wittiest, fun-loving, and kind-hearted persons in F1, as claimed by many. A few months ago, during the rain-soaked Bahrain GP, he engaged in some paddock-side football with Mick Schumacher. Also, his witty answers in the F1 podcasts and ‘Grill the Grid’ interviews are so hilarious, fans get a good laugh out of them.

German by birth, Sebastian Vettel has a talent for picking up accents by listening to the local people wherever he travels during a Formula One season. Fans have even put together a video compilation where Vettel does the Texan accent, then he imitates Kimi Raikkonen, talks in Sir Jackie Stewart’s Scottish accent, and many more.

With these heart-warming acts, Vettel is definitely one of the most loved players in the race at the moment. But how well will he fare in the upcoming Championship, and how many points will he take home from the US Grand Prix? That remains to be seen.
