On 13 December, at the end of the Abu Dhabi Formula 1 Grand Prix at the Yas Marina circuit, the last of the 2020 season, Sebastian Vettel, before returning to the pits, greeted the Ferrari staff via radio, with whom from next year will no longer run, singing his farewell and his thanks on the melody of Light blue, the 1968 song by Adriano Celentano.

This is the text of the “version” of Light blue by Vettel:
You are the Red team,
passionate, you will never give up.
My stop is coming,
I enjoyed being with you.
(I) Felt your magic,
an extraordinary feeling.
Guys, I thank you for (got me)
I will miss you.
Greetings to all of you in Maranello,
you deserve (to be) mentioned here.
And now I will almost say goodbye
and wish, wish the best!
I wish you happy,
but more, be healthy!
Vettel, who was Formula 1 world champion four times in a row (2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013) with Red Bull, finished thirteenth this year with 33 points. In the next season he will race for Aston Martin, which from 2021 will replace Racing Point as manufacturer.
