Sebastian Vettel will retire at the end of the season!
The four-time world champion and current driver at Aston Martin has announced his retirement from Formula 1 at the end of the season.
Real shock wave. Aston Martin driver Sebastian Vettel announced via a post on the social media platform Instagram that he will leave Formula 1 at the end of the season.
After several long months of rumors indicating a potential departure of the German, it is now official. The four-time world champion has, on several occasions this season, expressed his hesitations about his future in the sport.
(I) I have had the privilege of working with numerous fantastic individuals in Formula 1 over the past 15 years – there are far too many to mention and thank. Over the past two years, I have been a driver for the Aston Martin F1 team – and, although our results have not been as good as we had hoped, it is very clear to me that everything a team needs is in place: to compete at the highest level for the years to come.
A magnificent job.
(I) I hope that the work I did last year and continue to do this year will be useful for the development of a team that will win in the future, and I will work as hard as possible by the end of the year with this goal in mind, always giving my best in the last 10 races, » he stated via two videos posted on his brand new account.
The boss of Aston Martin, Lawrence Stroll, wanted to thank all the work provided by the German within his team. He has done fantastic races for us, and behind the scenes, his experience and expertise with our engineers have been extremely valuable.
The German will leave a mark in Formula 1. He is the youngest world champion in history, having won the world title four times with Red Bull, after a short stint at Toro Rosso, where he achieved his first victory.
