Sebastian Vettel Biography

Sebastian Vettel is one of the most popular and richest Race Car Driver who was born on July 3, 1987 in Heppenheim, Hesse, Germany. A dominant Formula One driver who won four consecutive World Championships from 2010 to 2013.

He was a world champion racer only a few years later than Michael Schumacher held the title.

Another fourth place in Spain followed, before finishing second in Monaco. In Canada, he converted pole into his third victory of the season and the 50th of his career, becoming just the fourth man in F1 history to reach a half-century of wins, after Prost, Schumacher and Hamilton. It was also the 14th time in Vettel’s career he led a race from start to finish, with only Senna (19) having more. Formula One returned to France (Paul Ricard) for the first time in a decade and it was the first race of an unprecedented three races in as many weekends. Vettel qualified in third, behind the two Mercedes cars. Starting on the ultrasoft tyre, Vettel got a good start and was challenging Bottas for second going into the first corner. However, he locked up and collided with the Finn, suffering front wing damage. He received a five-second penalty and eventually finished fifth, as Hamilton retook the championship lead. In Austria, Vettel received a three-place grid penalty for impeding the Renault of Carlos Sainz in Q2, meaning he to start in sixth place. Vettel recovered to finish in third place, and as a result of both Mercedes drivers retiring from the race with mechanical problems, Vettel again took the Championship lead.

In Britain, Vettel suffered neck problems after final practice, but did manage to take part in the Grand Prix. Vettel took the lead at the start of the race, while Räikkönen collided with Hamilton. However, two Safety Cars saw Vettel lose the lead (having pitted for a second time), leaving him behind Bottas and his worn tyres. Vettel passed the Finn with five laps to go and went on to take victory, moving him into third place on the all-time list of most wins tied with Alain Prost. Vettel qualified on pole at his home race in Germany, and led for much of the race, until he slid off the track and hit the wall on lap 51 as rain started to fall. It was his first retirement of the season as he lost the lead of the Championship to Hamilton, who won the race. A second place finish in Hungary followed, despite a late collision with Bottas. After the summer break ended, Vettel took the win in Belgium, when he passed Hamilton on the Kemmel Straight on the opening lap and controlled proceedings from there on. His third win at Spa moved Vettel into third place for wins (52) and podiums (107), ahead of Prost, with only Schumacher and Hamilton ahead of him. Teammate Räikkönen beat Vettel for pole at the following Grand Prix in Italy, the first time in eight years that the “Prancing Horse” took pole in front of their own Tifosi, with the fastest lap in Formula One history at an average speed of 263.588 kilometres per hour (163.786 mph). Vettel joined him on the front row, giving Ferrari their 60th front row lock out in Formula One, and the first time Ferrari had done this in Italy for 24 years. However, contact on the opening lap with Hamilton saw Vettel damage his front wing and drop to the back of the field. He recovered to cross the finishing line in fifth, but moved up to fourth with a penalty for Verstappen.

There are two siblings, Melanie as well as Stefanie, and an older brother named Fabian.

He eventually came 4th. At the following race in Valencia, he claimed his 33rd pole position, going 3rd equal with Jim Clark and Alain Prost in the all-time list. However a 20-second lead in the first 30 laps was reduced to nothing by a safety car appearance. On the first lap of the restart, his car ground to a halt, with an alternator failure being the cause. Vettel would have taken the lead in the standings- instead, he fell back to 4th behind Alonso (who won), Hamilton and Webber.
