Sebastian Vettel

"Over the past two years I have been an Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One™ Team driver - and, although our results have not been as good as we had hoped ...

"Sebastian is a superb driver - fast, intelligent and strategic - and of course we are going to miss those qualities. "He has driven some fantastic races for us, and, behind the scenes, his experience and expertise with our engineers have been extremely valuable. We will give him a fabulous send-off." All in. "I have really enjoyed working with such a great bunch of people. But today is not about saying goodbye.

The energy it takes to become one with the car and the team, to chase perfection takes focus and commitment. I believe that there is still a race to win. Children are our future, further I feel there is so much to explore and learn about life and about myself. My passion comes with certain aspects that I have learned to dislike. "My passion with racing and Formula One comes with lots of time spent away from them, and takes a lot of energy. "Committing to my passion the way I did and the way I think it is right, does no longer go side by side with my wish to be a great father and husband.

Four-time Formula One champion Sebastian Vettel will retire at the end of the season to spend more time with his family, the German driver said Thursday.

"They might be solved in the future but the will to apply that change has to grow much, much stronger and has to be leading to action today. At the Canadian GP in June he had the message, "Stop mining tar sands. "I believe in change and progress and every little bit makes a difference.'' "The decision to retire has been a difficult one for me to take, and I have spent a lot of time thinking about it,'' Vettel said. He thought about retiring then, before joining Racing Point in 2021. Being a racing driver has never been my sole identity.''

Former four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel is to retire from Formula One in 2022. We explain his reasons and look back at his career.

Time is a one-way street, and I want to go with the times. "I believe there is still a race to win. The energy it takes to become one with the car and the team, to chase perfection, takes focus and commitment. "Committing to my passion the way I did and the way I think it is right, does no longer go side by side with my wish to be a great father and husband. "Next to racing, I have grown a family, and I love being around them. "I believe in change and progress and that every little bit makes a difference. "I look forward to race [sic] down unknown tracks and I will be finding new challenges. "Talk is not enough and we cannot afford to wait. "I love being outside and love nature and its wonders. I like chocolate and the smell of fresh bread. I am stubborn and impatient. In fact, just last week reports that a move to McLaren in the 2022 off-season were gaining traction.

Il a piloté des courses fantastiques pour nous et, dans les coulisses, son expérience et son expertise avec nos ingénieurs ont été extrêmement précieuses.

Four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel has announced he is retiring from Formula One at the end of the season.

He has driven some fantastic races for us, and, behind the scenes, his experience and expertise with our engineers have been extremely valuable.” He will call time on his F1 career at the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi which will be his 300th meeting. “At the end of the year I want to take some more time to reflect on what I will focus on next,” he said. “But in the end he has done what he feels is right for himself and his family, and of course we respect that. These are issues he is likely to continue to pursue but he did not reveal his plans for the future. He stayed with Ferrari until the end of 2020 and joined Aston Martin in 2021 but has not won a race since the Singapore Grand Prix in 2019.

Sebastian Vettel's announcement that he will leave Formula 1 at the end of the 2022 season means an empty slot will be left at Aston Martin for 2023.

The team uses Mercedes engines and that there are all sorts of connections between Stroll and Toto Wolff that would make such a deal painless. He has a reputation for being disruptive and looking after his own interests, and that doesn't fit with the job of being Lance Stroll's team-mate. Mick Schumacher is also out of contract at Haas, and no doubt Vettel will be singing the praises of his protege. That would open up a seat for Colton Herta or someone else that McLaren wants to promote. But is he really the man the team wants? In addition, Aston is a car manufacturer, and there are marketing considerations.

Four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel will retire from Formula 1 at the conclusion of the 2022 season, bringing down the curtain on a grand prix CV ...

He later admitted this was payback for Webber ignoring a similar team order in Brazil the year before, when Vettel was trying to win his third world title. Vettel’s buffer when he crossed the line to Fernando Alonso is second place was 32.6 seconds, resulting in jeering from the crowd during the podium ceremony, so bored they were of his dominance. Picking a race Vettel led lights-to-flag and finished over half a minute clear of the field may seem like an odd one to pick as my favourite. Vettel continued his charge down to Sepang’s Turn 4, and carved into the lead on the outside. The other piece of brilliance from this race was Vettel’s pass to retake the lead from Alonso. Having been called off his lap one resurgence by the safety car, Vettel was all over the Ferrari after the restart. Vettel quickly worked his way into the top eight to run where he needed to be at the time. Vettel was fourth on the grid, with Alonso down in eighth. This was because Fernando Alonso produced a simply amazing start to roar from fourth to the lead – kicking up dust getting around Hamilton and Vettel as he skirted with the grass lining the track edge. Alonso was geared to cover off the Australian primarily, however, and that first allowed Vettel to streak to a beautiful pole position. That meant the Scuderia had to attempt to strategically cover off two cars rather than one in the final race of the season. And after infamously colliding with team-mate Webber in Turkey and spinning with Jenson Button at Spa, Vettel would barely put a foot wrong for the remainder of the campaign. The Faenza outfit had been bought out by Dietrich Mateschitz and turned into the Red Bull junior team, Toro Rosso, for 2006, but achieved little by way of results before Vettel was brought in to replace Scott Speed midway through the 2007 season.

Le pilote allemand de 35 ans a remporté quatre titres de champion du monde en 2010, 2011, 2012 et 2013 avec Red Bull.

Lewis Hamilton has praised rival Sebastian Vettel for supporting his anti-racism campaigning, after the four-time world champion confirmed he will retire ...

I could see how professional he was and it gave me a good insight into how you need to behave and how you need to be, to be a successful F1 driver like he was. I wish him the best and we will miss him. To see him go is something that you can see coming. (It's) not the news that I want. "He has been one of the very, very few drivers in racing history that has stood for much more than himself. Obviously personally, I spent some time alongside him which was a privilege.

Following the announcement of his retirement, F1 rival Lewis Hamilton said Sebastian Vettel is "one of the greatest people" F1 has ever had.

It's really kind of been him standing out into the uncomfortable light and trying to do something with the platform that we have and I think that's why for me he's very much unlike any other drivers that have been here, past or present." "He's been so supportive to me and I'd like to think I've supported him also. "I think he's one of the greatest people we've seen in this sport and we need more like him. But I do hope it will be in a better place and we have not wasted our time." Over time we've started to see one another take those brave steps and standing up for things we believe in and been able to support each other. he's been so brave in speaking out and standing for what he believes in.

Sebastian Vettel isn't like any racing driver Formula 1 has ever seen so it was perhaps fitting that the way he announced his retirement shocked everyone.

And it's a tough call, but one the billionaire has time to ponder. Their reserve Nico Hulkenberg is an option and has done a solid job when he’s been parachuted in, but he’s not the big-name signing that Stroll craves. They want the prestige that they bring, but also the experience that will deliver engineering expertise to support Lance Stroll, who is still reasonably early in his F1 career. They know he will give it everything, as he is doing at Alpine, and has the potential to deliver some huge results. But Vettel has proved that he is more than capable of making this next chapter of his life a huge success. At 35, with Vettel keen not to miss more of his children growing up and his perspective widening to include pushing for change outside F1 – whether that’s for greater equality or a push for sustainability and kindness to the environment – he decided it was time. He has the making of a successful philanthropist. When Vettel sets his mind to something, he follows through and makes a success of it. It’s the unknown, the polar opposite of what his life has been like for the last 15 years. Worse still, the significant upgrades they have brought to the track have not delivered the kind of pace they were supposed to. Aston Martin wanted Vettel, whose two-year deal expired at the end of this year, to stay on for a third season. The German has had a positive impact on billionaire Lawrence Stroll’s team in a reasonably short amount of time.

Vettel to retire from Formula One after current contract with Aston Martin expires at season's end.

Vettel's 53 Grand Prix victories currently rank third all-time in F1 history, while his four world championships are tied with Alain Prost for the fourth-most in history. According to ESPN, Vettel's announcement comes as his current contract with Aston Martin is set to expire at the end of the 2022 season. "The energy it takes to become one with the car and the team, to chase perfection takes focus and commitment.

The youngest driver to win a title will leave the sport at the end of the 2022 season, when his contract with Aston Martin concludes.

I love it, and every time I step in the car I love it,” he said during the May television appearance. In his retirement announcement, Vettel cited a desire to spend more time with his family and on his personal interests. Vettel won his four championships consecutively from 2010 to 2013, tying Alain Prost for the third most in Formula One history by the time he was 26.

"You put other priorities in place and you are not willing to pay the price of being an F1 driver." "Everyone in the paddock loves him and you will hear anything saying a bad word about Seb," Sainz said. "It's one of the one of the factors that definitely played a role," he added. "It grew back magically," Verstappen said. Above all he's just a great bloke, a great human being." Obviously it's going to be strange not to see Seb in the paddock," Leclerc said. "I feel we live in very decisive times and how we all shape these next years will determine our lives. At the Canadian GP in June he had the message, "Stop mining tar sands. At the Austrian GP in Spielberg three weeks ago, he wore a T-shirt with "Save the Bees" written on it. I can't ignore these voices." "So much dedication means also a lot of time spent in your head, in your thoughts, but also physically away from home, from kids, family," added the 35-year-old. I think it's the right time for me to do other things.

Four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel announced his intention to retire at the end of the 2022 season, closing the book on one of the most legendary ...

He has become more outspoken in his activism in recent months, wearing shirts supporting marriage equality and taking action to curb global warming. But Vettel is more than a driver. When it comes to Formula 1, Sebastian Vettel’s name is right up there among the legends.

Sebastian Vettel has backed Haas driver Mick Schumacher to replace him at Aston Martin when he retires at the end of this season.

"We need to start to speak to Gene about it and talk through the different scenarios of what we are going to do. Schumacher currently drives for Haas but is not contracted to the team beyond the end of this year. "We did have a very, very brief chat about what might be next.

Haas' Mick Schumacher makes the short list of Formula 1 drivers who could be a fit at Aston Martin in 2023.

Haas has spent 18 months getting Schumacher to this stage and is not keen on starting from zero with another driver. But unlike Ferrari, Red Bull or Mercedes Aston Martin does not have a young driver program from which it has options to build around. It has a power unit partnership with Mercedes but, unlike Williams, that has not extended to those in the cockpit. There is no driver available who can bring the knowledge of 53 wins, four titles and 15 years of experience in leading teams to Aston Martin. Krack accepted that “the groundwork that Sebastian has done last year, and is still doing this year, is crucial” at a team that has for decades been rooted in the midfield but now has the ambition—and the finances—to fight at the front. There is also Pierre Gasly, now approaching 100 Grands Prix and a race winner, but he has a 2023 AlphaTauri contract and was firm. Ricciardo is the only other multiple race winner on the grid facing an uncertain future but both he and McLaren have been adamant that his 2023 contract with the team will be respected.
