Talk:Sebastian Vettel

Recent photo in the infobox
I have changed the photo in the infobox to a recent photo where his face is clearly visible. I think it is not smart to serve our readers with a photo from 2015 when there is a more recent photo available. Kind regards Saschaporsche (talk) 09:13, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * How recent the photo is, isn't relevant if his appearance hasn't changed in the intervening years. His face is also clearly visible in the other photo. SSSB (talk) 09:38, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * His face has clearly changed, do compare the two photographs! He has aged. kind regards Saschaporsche (talk) 15:32, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry, his face hasn't changed significantly. The 2015 image is still higher quality and the change to his appearance is negligable. SSSB (talk) 16:03, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * continuing to edit war during a discussion is disruptive. Please discuss here. SSSB (talk) 16:05, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I have clearly stated my points. He has aged, there is a distinct difference in his appearance. So a recent photo is more applicable. Kind regards, Saschaporsche (talk) 16:29, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm interested to know what you think is his "distinct difference" in his face. Yes, there is a small difference between his appearances in both photos (a clearer beard), but it's not significant. Also, the quality of the 2015 photo is (much) better. So for me, I rather keep the current image. WA8MTWAYC (talk) 17:45, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * If i/we look at a person we look at that person's face and his eyes (in particular), the rest of the body is less interesting (unless you are watching a beautycontest..).
 * If you zoom in on the "old image" you see a tired Vettel with his eyes not visible. So from that standpoint the old picture (although higher in pixel quality) is definitely of less quality. The difference in age is -although not distinct- but definitely visible to me. Kind regards, Saschaporsche (talk) 20:28, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, the eyes and face are very important visual cues when looking at someone. However, I don't really agree the rest is less interesting. Vettel just won his first GP with Ferrari so he's overjoyed. You can see his happiness as he raises his fist. I like that a lot more than an awkward (and enormously cropped, which makes it of less quality than the older one) photo with a fan. His eyes are visible, but indeed a bit less than in the newer image. Also, the difference between his appearances is not significant. I'm interested what other users/editors think.

 * This photo should be requested premision since he was driver for Aston Martin in last two seasons. Snake bgd 15:07, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Whilst the changes between Vettel in the photos may not be hugely significant, I would argue that the team change leaves great scope for a potential change in the near future. It would be fantastic if any users with a good knowledge of fair-use images could upload a recent image of Vettel since joining Aston Martin. The Beanster (talk) 00:28, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Update the photo already
Vettel doesn’t look this young and fresh anymore and he’s driving for a different team. He’s more mature, now an elder statesmen. This photo is dated and doesn’t acknowledge what he’s been through in the past 7 years. Gaff (talk) 06:05, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I've updated the photo to a more recent photograph. Saschaporsche (talk) 09:23, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

He had open brain surgery age 5 months old. He couldnt eat solid foods until he was 5 years old and he couldnt walk until he was six years old. 212.129.87.249 (talk) 19:11, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
