Sebastian Vettel's Driver Bio
The boy wonder who has stolen a march on the field since he arrived in the spotlight in 2009 as a genuine title contender. Vettel has been dominant in Schumacher-esque style.
Whilst he’s a great personality off the track he’s been a love/hate character on the track with boyish charm versus his determined perfection. Between 2009 and 2013 he’s been a near faultless winner.
Vettel's Career High
4th consecutive Drivers World Championship in 2013 for Red Bull. In that season he took the record as the youngest 4 times World Champion. Most consecutive race wins (9) and also tallied up 13 race wins in what became one of his most dominant seasons.

Vettel's Career Low

Vettel still receives boo's from the crowd to this day.
