Vettel struggles with champagne bottle after Race of Champions final

Sebastian Vettel has often been allowed to squirt champagne in his long Formula 1 career. However, the four-time world champion is not used to having to open the bottle himself, according to a video of the ceremony after the Race of Champions.

Champagne proves a challenge for Vettel

The Aston Martin driver narrowly missed out on the title in the prestigious race but was allowed to join winner Sebastien Loeb in the post-race festivities. The champagne was ready but had to be uncorked.

For Vettel, that proved to be one of the bigger challenges of the weekend. While Loeb - who also managed to open the bottle with some difficulty - waited, Vettel just couldn't get the cork out. To distract attention, the German eventually left the bottle and started throwing snow instead.
