This tribute marked the 30th anniversary of the fatalities of Senna and Roland Ratzenberger at the same venue.
Vettel, wearing a helmet designed to honor both Senna and Ratzenberger, delivered a touching homage to the legendary drivers. In an emotional display, he drove with one hand while holding both the Brazilian and Austrian flags in the other towards the lap's end. The scene was especially moving for Norbert Vettel, Sebastian's father, witnessing his son driving the car of his idol, Ayrton Senna.
