F1 winner Vettel impressed with 'happy' Indians

October 31, 2011 16:22

Sebastian Vettel, a proud winner of the first ever Indian GP, discovered in less than a week's stay here that Indian people are happy and content despite having not much in contrast to Europeans, who have every luxury to enjoy.

"I think it is a very impressive country, very different to what we probably know from Europe, but very inspiring. If you keep you eyes and ears open I think you are able to learn a lot, the way the people handle things here.

"They enjoy life and in the end that's what it is all about. If your life comes to an end it is more the thoughts, the emotions, the friends, the friendships you take with you rather than whatever you have in your bank account," the German remarked philosophically after his win.
