Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari joined hands back in 2015. Vettel had won 4 championships with his previous team, Red Bull. He came to the Italian outfit looking to win yet another championship.

However, after 6 seasons with the Prancing Stallion, the partnership has ended as the German moves to Aston Martin next season.

His last season with Ferrari was one to forget and the last race was no different. He was knocked out of Qualifying 2 and finished the race in P14. During the post-race interview, the German was asked about his last race and teammate, Charles Leclerc.

He said, “I will miss him obviously. He’s given me some headaches here and there and I think, you know, we’re at different stages of our lives and careers.
