Congratulations Seb! Sebastian Vettel will miss his media duty at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix as he has become a father for the third time. Vettel was set to appear alongside teammate Charles Leclerc in a pre-race press conference, but he won't be attending after his wife gave birth.

The 32-year old married his long term partner Hanna Prater in the summer, in classic Vettel style, with little fuss and barely any media attention.

However, it's a sadder day for Valtteri Bottas, who has announced he has split up with his wife Emilia Pikkarainen. The pair had been married since September 2016.
