Watch the second part of Martin Brundle's chat with Sebastian Vettel in Maranello, the home of Ferrari.

In a fascinating and illuminating Sky F1 exclusive with Sebastian Vettel, the Ferrari driver chats to Martin Brundle about his impressive career so far, his regret over costly spins, life away from the track and much, much more.

"I just can't identify with a generation that wants to share everything, at all times," says Vettel on his decision not to use social media. "It's not that I have something to hide, not at all.

"I think many people are thinking that the life of a Formula 1 driver is a lot more exotic than my life is, but I actually like to have a normal life, and I think I qualify as living a normal life. But I don't have the desire to share."

Four-time world champion Vettel also speaks eloquently about his legacy in the sport, frankly adding: "I don't need a legacy. I don't need to be remembered. I'm not sad about it - it's good to move on."

Despite being one of the most successful drivers in the sport's history, Vettel has kept insight into his psyche and private life to a minimum - but opens up to Martin in their chat at Ferrari's iconic Maranello headquarters.
