Four-time champion and Aston Martin racer will step away from Formula 1 racing after this season.
“My first feeling is it’s sad to see he’s stopping. I’ve not had a lot of time to think about all the journey we’ve been through together. When I talk about the journey that I’ve felt I’ve experienced in this sport and often feeling that it’s been relatively lonely, he’s one of the few people that’s made it not feel lonely. He stood by me through a lot of things.
"I always remember 2007, a press conference in Magny-Cours and him being very outspoken in a drivers’ briefing, and I knew then he would be a powerful figure in the sport. Then seeing his success and seeing that he puts others before himself… he’s been so brave in speaking out and standing for what he believes in.
"Over time, we’ve started to see one another take those brave steps and standing up for things we believe in and been able to support each other. He’s been so supportive to me and I’d like to think I’ve supported him also. I’ve come to realize we have a lot more in common than just the driving passion.
"To see him go, it’s something that you could see coming—everyone is getting older, at one point everyone is retiring. It is of course never nice when that moment arrives, especially of course for Seb’s fans, but these things happen. I think it’s important now that he’s just going to enjoy his life with the family, because F1 is such a short period of time in your life that you work so hard to achieve all these things that he has achieved, and now it’s time to enjoy.
