Sebastian Vettel: To be honest, I’ve always loved football but there was never one player I really looked up to. The only sportsman I ever idolised was Michael Schumacher. I knew everything about him and followed his career and success very closely. When I actually got to meet him early on as a racing driver it was the best thing I could imagine happening.
