Four-time Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel completed an offroad bike race in Norwey, having taken part in the competition under a pseudonym.

Former Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel registered himself under a pseudonym as he tried to go unnoticed in the offroad bike race that took place in Alta, Finnmark.

Norwegian publication Altaposten reported that Vettel used the pseudonym Sebastian Sprater to compete in the bike race which came from the name of his wife, Hanna Prater.

Welcomed by the public and his family at the finish, the German crossed the finish line in Alta's city center just before 7 PM last Satuday, finishing in 44th place of the 184 male participants of the annual event. The 37-year-old tackled the 150km mountain bike course in just under nine hours.
