Sebastian Vettel retired from Formula One at the end of the 2022 season, following a career that saw him become one of the most successful drivers in the sport. A four times World Champion, having won 53 races, and gained 57 pole positions. His potential was evident at BMW, and with a move to Toro Rosso, he captured his famous victory at the 2008 Italian Grand Prix springboarding him into Red Bull where he achieved the majority of his success. Whilst not being able to add a fifth world championship with Ferrari, he won 14 grand prix for the team cementing him as their third most successful driver in history by number of race wins. Two final seasons beckoned with Aston Martin.
