Sebastian Vettel is a retired F1 driver and four-time World Champion who last drove for Aston Martin.

Vettel's career in the sport began with BMW Sauber as he became their test driver in 2006 before earning a race seat in 2007 following on from Robert Kubica's crash at the Canadian GP that year.

Later that season, he'd join Toro Rosso to see out the campaign with them and he'd carry on there in 2008 with his win at the Italian Grand Prix a real standout moment that year.

In 2009, he joined Red Bull and finished runner-up to Jenson Button in the standings, before embarking on a dominant run of championship wins as he and his team won both the Drivers' and Constructors' titles each season between 2010 and 2013.

A tough 2014 with Red Bull led to him moving to Ferrari where he'd spend the next five years, threatening to dethrone Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes at points but never managing to do so with some inconsistencies letting him and the team down.

After a difficult 2020, his final year with the Scuderia, he joined the Aston Martin team for 2021 with a particular highlight being a podium finish at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku, whilst a fuel infringement stripped him of another at the Hungarian Grand Prix in Budapest.

The German drove for the Aston Martin team once again in 2022, but a lack of performance from the car - especially in the first half of the year - proved one of the factors behind him deciding to call it a day at the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend.

The second half of the season actually saw the team pick up in terms of performance, but Seb bowed out in Abu Dhabi regardless, after producing a number of strong drives in the final races of his career.

Aston Martin were desperate to give him the car to do so, too, but ultimately time for them ran out.
