"I'm fairly open [to what we discuss]," he told media, including RacingNews365.com . "I think it's a different format. I think there's a lot that I can learn. Obviously, I have my opinion. I'm not saying it's always right or wrong! "But I think it will be interesting, because it will be a very different setting, and probably different sorts of questions or topics to be spoken about, so yeah, [I'm] fairly open at this point."
How did Vettel's Question Time appearance come about?
Vettel says that the opportunity to appear on Question Time came about by chance. "It really was [a] coincidence, and I think it is an interesting opportunity, because it's just different," the four-time World Champion said. "[I'm] looking looking forward to it."
