It's probably just as well that Sebastian Vettel isn't on Twitter, as the German admits that he is no fan of pop star Justin Bieber.

Seen throughout Grand Prix weekends wearing headphones and seemingly lost in the music, following today's qualifying session the German was asked exactly what it is he listens to.

Before he could respond, Nico Rosberg cheekily suggested: "Didn't you say Justin Bieber last time?"

"No," was the instant response from the three (four) time world champion. "It's not really... it's music, yes," he revealed, "but it's more like melodies, no singing, so no Justin Bieber. I think that was on your iPod. In the end, it's not a secret, it's just music that gets me or tries to get me in the zone so that I hopefully get the best out of myself."

With over 46 million followers on Twitter, Beliebers, as Canadian Bieber's followers are known, are infamous for the way in which they get laid into anyone who dares criticise their hero.

Meanwhile, Vettel, who looks set to claim his fourth title tomorrow, admitted that other than Bieber, he is no fan of the noise made by Formula E either.

"I don't like it at all," he said. "I think it's not the future, I think the people come here to feel Formula One and there's not much to feel when a car goes by and you don't even hear anything else but the wind.

"Maybe I'm very old fashioned," he continued, "but I think Formula One needs to scream, needs to be loud, there needs to be the vibration. That's what I remember from the first time I went to see Formula One in 1992 for free practice at Hockenheim, even though it was wet and the cars didn't go out, but once they did their installation laps it was a great feeling just to be there and hear them coming through the forest and feel it through the ground. That's why I'm not a big fan at all."

In a move that will further endear him to fans of a certain age, the German refused to be drawn into the age-old argument regarding the sport's all-time greats.

"I don't think it's fair to only name... that for sure there is more than five," he said. "here are different times in Formula One so if you look back recently, you've got a couple of drivers racing now but obviously if you don't look too far back, drivers like Mika (Hakkinen), Michael (Schumacher), Ayrton (Senna), Nigel Mansell dominated their times in a way - Prost - so you cover quite a lot of the last couple of years. After that, there's guys like Lauda, Piquet.

"I don't think it's fair to highlight one-two-three because Formula One has changed," he concluded.

Hear, hear, Seb.
