The news of the opening of his first official Instagram profile had made fans dream. And, instead, it was just a tool to announce the farewell to Formula 1 while making sure it reached the widest audience. He did it with his gentle and slightly retro style, as a young man who has just turned 35, but who seems to have plunged into this era with a time machine.
