Alonso has revealed he will wear a special Vettel tribute helmet during the four-time F1 champion's final race in Abu Dhabi.
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."
