Vettel will retire from F1 after this weekend's race at the Yas Marina Circuit, having announced back in July that he would be calling time on his career.
At the height of his success with Red Bull, Vettel regularly found himself fighting against Alonso and, with the duo twice going into a season finale up against each other for the championship. Vettel narrowly defeated Alonso in both 2010 and 2012, leaving the Spaniard on two world titles. "Danke Seb," wrote Alonso on Instagram when revealing the helmet design."One last time sharing the track with you, It will be emotional and sad at the same time, but I wish you all the best for your next chapter."
"Sometimes we fought for championships, sometimes for seventh place in Japan to the finish line [this year] and we still obviously always enjoy every single battle and respect each other as much as we could," said Alonso.
