The youngest three (and then subsequently four) time World Champion, who when subbing for the injured Kubica at BMW, became the youngest ever points scorer in F1's history. Later moved to Toro Rosso, where he became the sport's youngest ever winner, which he remained until Max Verstappen won the Spanish Grand Prix in 2016. From 2009 to 2014, he raced for Red Bull, winning the aforementioned four titles. 2014 was a struggle though and so he moved onto pastures new, and Ferrari, in 2015. It went very well and he remained there until 2020. However, being outshone by Charles Leclerc meant that Vettel left at the end of the season. He moved to Aston Martin for the 2021 season, remained there for 2022, but retired at the end of the season to concentrate on family life and his other activist passions.
