Sebastian Vettel

German Formula 1 driver who won four consecutive World Championships (2010-2013) with Red Bull Racing and became the youngest quadruple champion in F1 history

Sebastian Vettel won four consecutive Formula One World Championships with Red Bull Racing between 2010 and 2013, becoming the youngest World Champion in the sport's history at 23 years and 134 days when he claimed his first title in 2010, and accumulating 53 Grand Prix wins across his career. He won four consecutive Formula 1 World Championships with Red Bull Racing in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. In 2010 he became the youngest World Champion in F1 history at 23 years and 134 days — breaking Lewis Hamilton's record set just two years earlier. He won 53 Grands Prix across his career — at the time of his retirement, third all-time behind Hamilton and Schumacher. His 15 victories in the 2011 season set a then-record for wins in a single season. He joined Ferrari in 2015 and came close to a fifth title in 2017 and 2018, both times falling narrowly to Hamilton. He drove for Aston Martin from 2021 and announced his retirement mid-season in 2022, citing a desire to spend more time with his family and an inability to commit fully to the sport. His final seasons were marked by increasingly prominent environmental and social activism — beekeeping, clean-up operations and outspoken climate advocacy. His four consecutive championships across 2010-2013 stand as the most dominant individual run in Formula 1 since Michael Schumacher's era.
