Sebastian Vettel loves courses like Monza; says "first win always remains something special"

Sebastian Vettel won his first race at Monza back in 2008. Speaking to the press ahead of his last Italian GP, the 35-year-old said:

"Well, I like Monza, I love the track. Obviously, there's a lot of memories. I don't… you know I don't wake… I didn't wake up this morning, I won't wake up on Sunday thinking this is the last time in Monza."

In his 16th and final F1 season, Sebastian Vettel has seen the highs and lows of the sport. A four-time world champion, he won his first race at the 2008 F1 Italian GP. Putting his Toro Rosso on pole, he shocked the world by winning the race in a blistering rain. It was the first race win for the second Red Bull outfit.

Upon being asked how his first 2008 win stacked up against the other 52, he replied:

"Well, it was a long time ago. But I think your first win always remains something special so to answer your question, probably pretty high but then it's quite a luxury to be able to choose from so many. And for sure, right now, I can't compare all of them but I would say the first one is very special. Also the circumstances, you know; it was a bit of a miracle and fairy tale, pulling it off with a pole and then the race win. So yeah, very special."

Sebastian Vettel is one of the most decorated superstars in the sport. He has won 53 Grands Prix and 4 World Championships (2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013) in his career. It is sad to see the legend of the sport retire but all his fans will always remember the 21-year-old Vettel winning in the rain, riding a 2007 spec engine in his Toro Rosso.
