Sebastian Vettel proved that he’s still got serious pace, even without an engine in his back.

Donning his running shoes, the four-time F1 world champion tackled Sunday’s 2026 London Marathon alongside F1’s Tom Clarkson.

While Kenya’s Sabastian Sawe was busy rewriting history with a staggering 1:59:30 – the world’s first official sub-two-hour marathon – Vettel was running for two good causes, raising funds along with Clarkson for the Grand Prix Trust and the Brain & Spine Foundation.

Crossing the finish line in a blistering 2:59:08, Seb averaged a pace of 4:15 per kilometer, proving that whether he’s burning fuel or burning calories, the man remains a master of the fast lane.
