Sebastian Vettel has announced his retirement from F1 at the end of the season. It’s come along as a surprise for everyone connected with the sport, especially for the current Ferrari drivers, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, who have had the privilege of closing quarters. Charles even got the opportunity to be his team mate with Ferrari before Sebastian decided to move to Aston Martin.

The four time world champion has always wanted to be seen as more than just a racing driver and we have seen that in his interviews. Whether it’s homophobia or racism, the German has always taken a staunch stand against these social evils. While announcing his retirement, he clarified that he wants to live a life outside of this sport and wishes to spend time with his family.
