“Literally all of us” - Sergio Perez finding out about Sebastian Vettel’s retirement on Drive to Survive unites F1 fans on internet

Sebastian Vettel's sudden retirement announcement was documented in episode 5 of Drive to Survive Season 5. The legendary German driver made a video announcing his retirement on his newly created Instagram account. Later, the video was also posted by Aston Martin, the team in which Vettel drove his last season.

Though most drivers learned about the news when Netflix's cameras were not on them, Sergio Perez gave his first reaction to the news while he was being interviewed for the show. At first, the Mexican was surprised that Sebastian Vettel had an Instagram account since most people know he prefers to stay off any and all social media platforms. Checo said:

"Seb has Instagram? What am I missing?"

Sergio Perez played the video in which Vettel came into the shot and announced his retirement. Almost immediately, we see Checo's shocking reaction. Of course, since Drive to Survive is a heavily edited show, there was a perfectly placed sound effect that matched the retirement announcement and the cut to Checo's shocked face, making it somewhat humorous to watch.
