The next season he went to Red Bull and that is where he achieved immense greatness. He won four consecutive World Championships from 2010 to 2013.

In 2015 Sebastian Vettel joined Ferrari and in the 2017 and 2018 season he battled Mercedes-Benz driver Lewis Hamilton for the title but lost out on both occasions.
