4-time Formula 1 champion Sebastian Vettel reportedly had to put his speed to the test after the Spanish Grand Prix … chasing after a group of thieves who made off with his bag.
Vettel — who finished P11 on Sunday — was reportedly exiting his Aston Martin in Barcelona on Monday when the robbers grabbed his backpack and made a run for it.
Apparently, Vettel wasn’t going down without a fight — because according to local reports, he hopped on a scooter and used the GPS tracking on his AirPods to hunt down his bag.
Unfortunately for Vettel, the thieves must’ve planned ahead … because once he made it to his headphones, they were not with his bag.
A rep for AM spoke about the incident … saying, “A bag belonging to Sebastian Vettel was stolen in Barcelona this morning; he tried to find it by using his iPhone to track his earphones which were in his bag; but when he located his earphones he found them abandoned and was therefore unable to locate his stolen bag.”
F1 drivers have had bad luck with getting robbed recently — as we previously reported, Charles Leclerc had his $320k watch stolen as he met with fans last month.
