5Biography of F1 driver Vettel Sebastian
Website: www.sebastianvettel.de
Sebastian Vettel (born on 3 July 1987 in Heppenheim, Germany) is a former German racing driver, regarded as one of the defining figures of modern Formula 1 thanks to his four consecutive World Championship titles.
After starting in karting in the mid-1990s and being supported from a young age by the Red Bull junior programme, Vettel moved into single-seaters in the early 2000s. In 2004 he raced in Formula BMW ADAC, a championship he dominated in 2005 with 18 wins from 20 races, attracting the attention of top teams. In 2006 he debuted in the Formula 3 Euro Series with ASM, winning several races, and in 2007 he claimed the Formula Renault 3.5 Series title, confirming his rapid rise.
His Formula 1 debut came in 2007: he took part in a free practice session with BMW Sauber and made his race debut at the United States Grand Prix, becoming the youngest German driver to score points. In 2008 he moved to Toro Rosso and delivered one of the most iconic results in recent history: at the Italian Grand Prix, in the rain, he secured pole position and victory, becoming the youngest Grand Prix winner in Formula 1.
From 2009 he joined Red Bull Racing, where he built an unparalleled era of success. Between 2010 and 2013 he won four consecutive World Championships, distinguished by his ability to maximise the potential of cars designed by Adrian Newey and by exceptional single-lap performance. In 2013 he set the record for nine consecutive wins in a single season and finished the year with 13 victories, one of the statistical peaks in championship history.
In 2015 he moved to Ferrari, beginning a new chapter of his career. With the Maranello team he achieved numerous victories and fought for the World Championship in 2017 and 2018, finishing runner-up both times. Although he did not succeed in returning the title to Ferrari, Vettel became one of the pillars of the team’s technical and sporting project, surpassing 50 career victories and cementing his status among the most successful drivers of all time.
From 2021 to 2022 he raced with Aston Martin, contributing to the development of the team during a growth phase. He achieved several notable results, including a podium at the 2021 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, before announcing his retirement from Formula 1 at the end of the 2022 season.
Over the course of his Formula 1 career, Vettel contested 299 Grands Prix, achieving 53 victories, 57 pole positions, 122 podiums and four World Championships. He holds several records for precocity and remains the youngest World Champion in the history of the category.
After retiring, Vettel gradually stepped away from full-time competition, dedicating himself to environmental sustainability initiatives, education and social projects, alongside selective appearances in motorsport as a guest or consultant.
Vettel is married to Hanna Prater and is the father of three children. He has always maintained a reserved personal profile, with a strong focus on environmental issues and the future of motorsport, themes that have characterised his public activity in the years following his retirement.
