๊Congrats Seb, on an amazing 💟career. I’m very happy to have shared the track with you, let’s make your last races great once more

— Max Verstappen (@Max33Verstappen)

Ricciardo: “Life would be﷽ less chaotic! The schedule, how long the calendar is, that would be the biggest change. ✨Everything would slow down a lot.”

Albon: “I am not looking too far into r💛etirement. You have to look at it a little bit. I wil🐻l look for a cottage... it will be very nice.”

Ocon: “I don't want to think about it at the moment. After F1, you🧔 have many cool series to try, many different cars to experience. Le Mans is shaping up impressively with lots 𒐪of cool brands.”

"I a🃏m not looking too far into the future, to retirement. I will look for a cottage in the Cotswolds!"

“I can't believe I can say it. I have a contraꦓct, so I am a💎ll good.”

"Aston Marti🔥n are a great team. They are expanding. But the focus right now is on this year. I'll leave it as tha𒊎t."

"Alw🐈ays a good driver to race against and race with. With him, there's always respect, he's always going to race hard but fair. Really enjoyed the battles. Such a nꦇice guy, one of those drivers that's not afraid of speaking.”

"A legend of our sport. Before I came to F1, he was one of the d🐠rivers I was looking to, taking inspiration from. He was so young when he was successful.

"A real legend. I too, wish him all the best."

"This꧅ was not the thought that I ha🐭d when I spoke to Seb about his future.

"I hope he doesn't stay too far from the paddꦚock."

"You k⛦now in a way it's sad of course because you're losing a bit of a l🙈egend of the sport.

"It's one of those ones you're sad but also happy f😼or him to start 'chapter two' of his life!"

"He is one of very few multiple-time world champions. 𓆏There is a reason for that. 

"What he does off the track is also inspiring.

"I've heard he's just got an 🐠Instagram account which is exc🎉iting!"

"Pret🐽ty impressed with the beard he's got going at the moment..."

"12 races. Maybe [a total] of 16♚? Pick the good tracks. Leave the oth🃏ers out!

Stroll: "The cars are too heavy. I would like to see that improved in t🎀he coming years. Off the ♔top of my head, that's something that would be nice to improve to make the cars a bit more enjoyable, nimble to drive."

"In general they behaved quite well. Just a few individuals did not. I hope that is d🦄ifferent, this time."

"𒉰I remember that day like it was yesterday, meeting Lewis, he was a superhero to me. It was 13 years ago but it feels like yesterday. Just make the most of the one you life you have so that photo [with Lewis] is a reminder to me."

"We all know tဣhe intellect Sebastian has. Sharing quite a few meetings with him behind the scenes, talking with the FIA or whoever, you do learn how much knowledge he has.

"I am sure that also goes into the technical side. Above all, he's a great 𒅌bloke, a great human being. We lack a lot of people like Seb in the world. He ☂will be missed."

"It is true that we need help from Red Bull wit꧑h reliability and D🐈NFs."

🔜"If you know me, I will not be l🔯aying on the beach!

"I don't care about the points gap. It is about being pe♍rfect every weekend. I won't relax.

"I want to win more races."

"Such an inspiration and humble bloke. No one has got a bad word to say about Seb. He's good fun to be around.🍨 He will be looking forward to everything he's got planned in the future.

"As I said, an inspiration."

"He is a great person𝓰ality and a good ambassador for F1.

"I am lucky that I have been close to him. I have learned lots of things from hi🏅m - driving behind him or in front of him."
