Although Sebastian Vettel hasn't been able to win on the track for a while, he is doing just fine off the track. The German and all other drivers test their knowledge of Formula 1 by naming all the World Champions and the year of the championship.

Vettel the Formula 1 nerd

Vettel shows that he, as Daniel Ricciardo says in the latest F1 YouTube video, 'is quite a nerd'. The Aston Martin driver can name all 71 World Champions plus the years they became champions. In the video, he hardly seems to have to think about it.

Nobody came close to Vettel's number. Max Verstappen came second with 38 correct answers and George Russell managed to name 34. Yuki Tsunoda lasted the least in the game of Formula 1: He guessed the 2018 world champion wrong and got only two good answers.

Raikkonen twice champion

And Kimi Raikkonen? He deliberately gives a wrong answer when he hears that he can stop then: "Are we at 2007? Oh, then I won 2006 too! What a shame, did I get it wrong?"
