Four-time Formula 1 champion Sebastian Vettel has made a rare appearance on social media to deliver an uplifting message in these troubled times.

Vettel has shied away from such media throughout his F1 career, but has turned to Ferrari's official Twitter account as the world battles the coronavirus pandemic.

"Welcome all during these difficult times, and insecure times," said Vettel. "Keep faith, keep hope."

During the 36-second clip, Vettel adds: "If we all contribute a little bit and try and help each other then we will manage to push through this, and hopefully, very soon we will come back to normality.

"Stay healthy and stay safe."
