Four-time title-holder Sebastian Vettel [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/] will leave Ferrari toward the finish of the 2020 season [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Formula_One_World_Championship]. It comes as Vettel failed to secure the Championship since joining the Italian group in 2015. Carlos Sainz will replace him after the 2020 season. He will pair up with Charles Leclerc [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/charles-leclerc/]. There are not many choices for the German. Red Bull have already ruled out the possibility of a deal with Sebastian Vettel. Several rumors connect Sebastian Vettel with Renault. Reports also state that Alonso has already signed the ‘pre-agreement’ with the French team. Mercedes may have a vacant seat from 2021 as Valtteri Bottas is in the last year of his agreement. In any case, giving Hamilton a partner who will be so frantic to beat him could cause significant difficulties. Toto Wolff reacted to the news of Vettel’s Ferrari exit and praised the driver. “It is a pity that an era is coming to an end,” “Sebastian is a great driver, a great personality, and an enrichment for every Formula 1 team,” said Wolff. “With a view to the future, we are primarily committed to loyalty to our current Mercedes drivers. But of course, we cannot ignore this development.” Toto Wolff says that Sebastian Vettel is as yet an awesome Formula 1 driver. He even expresses that the potential arrival of the 32-year-old driver will be an extraordinary marketing story for the Mercedes brand. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/st-2.jpg] “Of course, a German driver in a German car is a good marketing story,” says Wolff in conversation with ORF. “We exclusively focus on success. Sebastian is, of course, someone who is really good. He pulls all the strings. He can decide for himself whether he wants to quit or join another team. There are still some interesting places to go.” Mercedes will have two vacant seats to be filled before 2021, as the agreements of Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas both lapse after the 2020 season. The German team presently can’t seem to choose where it needs to go for the coming years. “We’re looking at what we’re going to do with George Russell and then there’s a Vettel turn. But this is not on the highest place on the agenda at the moment, we want to concentrate on our own team first.“ 

Toto Wolff says that Sebastian Vettel is an awesome F1 driver. He says that the
potential arrival of the driver will be a marketing story for Mercedes.

<h2>Ferrari: 2021 Latest News, Results, Drivers and Car Updates</h2>
Scuderia Ferrari is one of the oldest teams in Formula 1, having been in the sport since its inception. In 70 years, the Maranello-based outfit has produced nine World Champions, three of which have won multiple times.

The most successful champion has been <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-schumacher/">Michael Schumacher</a> with five titles for the Italian outfit. Other champions include Alberto Ascari, Juan Manuel Fangio, Mike Hawthorne, Phil Hill, John Surtees, Niki Lauda, Jody Scheckter, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kimi-raikkonen/">Kimi Raikkonen</a>.

Their current line-up for the 2021 season consists of <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/carlos-sainz/">Carlos Sainz jr.</a> and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/charles-leclerc/">Charles Leclerc</a>. Leclerc is a graduate from the Ferrari Driver?s Academy and made his Ferrari debut in 2019. Carlos comes from McLaren F1 team where Daniel Ricciardo will replace him.

The current Team Principal is Mattia Binotto, and the CEO is Louis Camilleri, who succeeded the late Sergio Marchionne. Marchionne passed away in 2018 aged 66.
<h2>Who owns the Ferrari F1 team?</h2>
The Scuderia is a part of its parent organization - Ferrari S.p.A. The legendary car manufacturer is owned by the public with a majority stake (67.09%), followed by Exor - a holdings company (22.91%) and Piero Ferrari - son of the great Enzo Ferrari (10.00%).
<h2>Ferrari: On-track Achievements</h2>
Having been in the sport since 1950, it is fairly obvious that their achievements will be plenty. Their statistics prove it too, as they have earned 16 Constructors' Championships in total.

<h2>Sponsors</h2>

Apart from heritage, the legendary team manages to evoke an emotional connection like no other Formula 1 team. The nostalgia and passion associated with the Maranello-based outfit, coupled with a passionate fanbase, comes at a price for Formula 1.

The Prancing Horse earns a considerably larger sum in revenue compared to its F1 rivals. According to reports, they <a href="https://www.racefans.net/2019/03/03/formula-1-teams-prize-money-payments-for-2019-revealed/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">earned</a> $205 million in 2019 as prize money.

<h2>How much is the Ferrari F1 team worth?</h2>
The Scuderia boasts of the highest net worth of all F1 teams. <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/chrissmith/2019/11/26/formula-one-team-values-ferrari-mercedes/#673c8bc91ddb" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Reports suggest</a> that it is worth a staggering $1.3 billion.

<h2 style="text-align: left">Foundations and Charity</h2>
They often auction off special F1-liveried cars for the sake of charity. Proceeds raised from the auction support the Telethon Foundation, which has been committed to fostering and developing scientific research for cures of rare genetic diseases since 1990.

In March 2020, the family behind the team donated ?10 Million and 150 ventilators to aid in the fight against coronavirus.

<h2>Mercedes: 2021 Latest News, Results, Drivers, and Car Updates</h2>
German manufacturing giant, Mercedes-Benz, first got involved in racing back in the 1930s and 1940s. After the Second World War, they returned in 1954, in what is now known as Formula One. However, they pulled out as a manufacturer after 1955, remaining only as a supplier.

<h2><strong>What are Mercedes' on-track a</strong><b>chievements?</b></h2>

Those wins came at the French Grand Prix, the German Grand Prix, the Swiss Grand Prix, and the Spanish Grand Prix.

A year later, they would go on to win five out of seven races. These wins came at Argentina, Belgium, Netherlands, Great Britain, and Italy.

After their return in 2010, there were off to a shaky start, having been away for so long. However, since 2013, things have been picking up, and they began to dominate from 2014, which saw the inception of the turbo-hybrid era in Formula 1.

Mercedes have won every single Drivers' and Constructors' Championship on offer since 2014. The team have won 115 races out of 227 races.

<h3><strong>George Russell: 2021 Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements</strong></h3>
George Russell is a British racing driver. He has been an incredible asset to the historic Williams F1 team alongside his teammate, Nicolas Latifi. The Briton is also a Mercedes junior driver, which has now led him to secure a seat for the 2022 F1 season alongside 7-time world champion, Lewis Hamilton.

He also got a chance to drive the Mercedes F1 car during the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix when Lewis Hamilton missed the race due to Covid-19. Russell almost pulled off a stunning race victory only for the team to mess up the strategy and deny him of it.

Like all other drivers, Russell began his racing career in karting. He first began competing in 2006 and has not looked back since then.

[caption id="attachment_470307" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-470307" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2020-12-05T180516Z_707986909_UP1EGC51E8SGW_RTRMADP_3_MOTOR-F1-SAKHIR.jpg" alt="George Russell following the qualifying session at Sakhir Grand Prix 2020" width="1920" height="1293" /> Formula One F1 - Sakhir Grand Prix - Bahrain International Circuit, Sakhir, Bahrain - Mercedes' George Russell celebrates after qualifying in second position Pool via REUTERS/Tolga Bozoglu[/caption]
<h3><strong>On-track Achievements</strong></h3>
Russell took his first championship, the 2014 BRDC Formula 4 Championship. He fended off challenges from the likes of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arjun_Maini">Arjun Maini</a> and Raoul Hyman.

A year later, he placed sixth at the 2015 FIA Formula 3 European Championship. But in 2016, he improved his position to 3rd in the championship.

He moved to the GP3 series in 2017 and became a <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mercedes">Mercedes</a> and Force India test driver. In the same year, he won the GP3 title from compatriot Jack Aitken.

During the following year, Russell joined the FIA Formula 2 Championship and won it in his very first season.

Following his Formula 2 championship win, Russell signed for Williams in 2019, making his d?but at the 2019 Australian Grand Prix, alongside Robert Kubica.

Russell is contracted to drive for Williams until the conclusion of the 2021 season. After a tough couple of seasons, Russell finally broke the point-less streak at the 2021 Hungarian GP, where he secured his first points for the team.

As of the Russian GP, Russell has managed to secure a total of 19 points in his career.

Following the 2021 season, Russell will be making a giant leap onto the championship-winning Mercedes AMG, replacing Valtteri Bottas.

(Photo by Marco Canoniero/LightRocket via Getty Images) George Russell: 2021 Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements George Russell is a British racing driver. He has been an incredible asset to the historic Williams F1 team alongside his teammate, Nicolas Latifi. The Briton is also a Mercedes junior driver, which has now led him to secure a seat for the 2022 F1 season alongside 7-time world champion, Lewis Hamilton. He also got a chance to drive the Mercedes F1 car during the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix when Lewis Hamilton missed the race due to Covid-19. Russell almost pulled off a stunning race victory only for the team to mess up the strategy and deny him of it. Like all other drivers, Russell began his racing career in karting. He first began competing in 2006 and has not looked back since then.

<h3><strong>Sebastian Vettel 2022: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</strong></h3>
Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel is a 4-time Formula One World Champion. He is among the most likable personalities on the grid. He made his Formula One debut in 2007 in a one-off appearance as a replacement for an injured <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/robert-kubica/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Robert Kubica</a>. The same year saw him join the ranks of the<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/toro-rosso/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Toro Rosso</a> team, effectively replacing Scott Speed. In 2008, he took his first victory, which still stands as the team's only race victory. In 2009, he graduated to Red Bull F1 and stayed with the team until the end of 2014, before moving to Ferrari. His Red Bull stint saw him scale four back-to-back championships between 2010 and 2013.

Back in his Red Bull days, Sebastian Vettel's helmet game was on another level. While the FIA has repealed its controversial helmet change rule, Vettel would turn up to Grand Prix events with some of the coolest lids on the grid.

Most recently, his iconic white helmet with German stripes is easily recognizable and has become a classic helmet design on the grid.

<h3><strong>Sebastian Vettel: On-track Achievements</strong></h3>
His 2008 race victory in Monza and further progress at an early age ensured that he has a lot of records to his name. Sebastian Vettel is the youngest driver to score a pole position, a race victory, a double (pole + race), and a triple (pole + race + fastest lap). His 13 race victories in 2013 and 15 pole positions in 2011, still stand as the highest race victories and pole positions in a season, respectively.

While he holds a long list of accolades in Formula 1, Sebastian Vettel is also one of the wittiest drivers on the grid. His perfectly timed quips and witty jabs during team radio messages and interviews have become a big hit among the fans.

<h3>Sebastian Vettel: Net Worth 2022</h3>
His contract with Ferrari in 2020 put his annual <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/sebastian-vettel/#4373508e53f2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">salary</a> to $36.3 million along with bonuses, making him one of the richest drivers on the F1 grid. The length of his contract ran till the end of 2020. He's driven for two very rich teams: Red Bull with their massive budget and Ferrari with their legacy, ensuring his lifetime earnings at <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/race-car-drivers/sebastian-vettel-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">$140 million</a>.

Further, he signed a contract with Aston Martin for the 2021 season. The fact that Aston Martin is a mid-field outfit forced Vettel in obliging to a massive pay-cut. The German is reportedly receiving a salary of $15M, without bonuses. Nevertheless, Vettel is still the 5th highest <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/brettknight/2021/07/22/formula-1-highest-paid-drivers-hamilton-verstappen/?sh=e868db011828" target="_blank" rel="noopener">paid</a> driver on the grid in 2021, just behind his predecessor, Sergio Perez. As of 2022, Vettel will receive a salary of $13M from Aston Martin.
<h3><strong>Sebastian Vettel: Ferrari journey and contract</strong></h3>
However, his Ferrari stint wasn't nearly as successful. Joining the team in early 2015, Vettel was the guiding light that Ferrari needed after a dismal 2014 season. One could argue that Vettel resurrected Ferrari in the turbo-hybrid era of Formula 1.

Despite getting off to a positive start, Sebastian's Ferrari journey was full of ups and downs. He endured a difficult season in 2016 - scoring no wins and driving a car that wasn't very competitive.

However, things changed in 2017. The SF70h was more than a match for the Mercedes W08 and for the first time in the turbo-hybrid era, Ferrari could challenge Mercedes for the Championship.

While Ferrari and Vettel made good progress in the first half of 2017, the quest to end Mercedes' domination fizzled in the latter half of the season. Mercedes made a big step up in car development. Furthermore, a series of reliability issues and driver mistakes effectively ended the Scuderia's hopes of Championship that year.

But the team went back to the drawing board of developed a monster of a car for the 2018 season. The SF71h seemed destined to put an end to Mercedes's winning streak, but a sequence of driver errors meant it was not to be.

[caption id="attachment_506721" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-506721" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210107180320/GettyImages-1180720765.jpg" alt="Sebastian Vettel in Scuderia Ferrari" width="1920" height="1280" /> SUZUKA, JAPAN - OCTOBER 13: Pole position qualifier Sebastian Vettel of Germany and Ferrari celebrates in parc ferme during qualifying for the F1 Grand Prix of Japan at Suzuka Circuit on October 13, 2019 in Suzuka, Japan. (Photo by Charles Coates/Getty Images)[/caption]

Vettel came agonizingly close to clinching his first Championship with Ferrari in 2018, but his campaign fell apart towards the end of the season.

2019 was a difficult season for the German driver. Vettel had to put up with a younger, much faster teammate in Charles Leclerc while racing in a car that was uncompetitive and unsuited to his driving style. Scoring only a single win, Sebastian ended the season fifth in the Drivers' Championship.

The equation between Vettel and teammate <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/charles-leclerc" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Charles Leclerc</a> gave the team enough trouble.

The 2020 season was put on hold due to COVID-19 but Vettel dropped a bombshell regarding his future at Ferrari. Sebastian Vettel officially announced that he and Ferrari would not be renewing their contract for 2021 and beyond. At the end of the ?2020 season, Vettel and Ferrari parted ways.

Despite the failed quest with Ferrari, Vettel can look back at his time with the Reds with pride. The German currently sits third in the list of all-time wins for the Scuderia. Only behind F1 legends - Michael Schumacher and Niki Lauda. So far, Vettel has scored 57 Pole Positions and clinched 53 wins in his F1 career.

While it looked like Vettel might announce his retirement following the 2020 season, what arrived was rather a surprising announcement from the returning F1 team, Aston Martin. The British outfit announced Vettel as a part of their driver's line-up for 2021 replacing Sergio Perez.

In September 2021, Aston Martin affirmed that Vettel's contract had the option of extending his presence by another year. Hence, the team decided to stick with the German at least until the end of 2022.
<h3>Best Moments of Sebastian Vettel</h3>
<h4><strong>Foundations and Charity Work</strong></h4>
Sebastian Vettel supports two main charities, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIMfiaqeHJg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Champions for Charity</a> and <a href="https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&amp;sl=de&amp;u=https://www.unitedcharity.de/Prominente/Sebastian-Vettel&amp;prev=search&amp;pto=aue" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">United Charity</a>.

Sebastian Vettel often <a href="https://www.espn.in/f1/story/_/id/26836139/ferrari-drivers-sebastian-vettel-charles-leclerc-team-cristiano-ronaldo-charity-football-match" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">competes</a> in charity football matches to raise money for various charitable organizations.

Since 2020, Vettel has been working with BioBienenApfel, a company striving to raise awareness on the importance of bees' existence in the eco-system. Ahead of the Austrian GP 2021, Vettel, along with a group of kids, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-heartwarming-sebastian-vettel-comes-to-rescue-of-environment-with-bee-hotel-ahead-of-austrian-gp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">built a hotel for bees</a> in the middle of an open field in Spielberg.

Later following the British Grand Prix, Vettel collected garbage from the stands left behind by the spectators. He further carried the waste to a waste incineration plant to raise awareness on recycling waste.

<h3>Sebastian Vettel: Personal life</h3>
Sebastian Vettel prefers keeping his personal life away from all the glitz and glamor of F1. Nobody knows a lot about his private life, but there are a few details.

The 33-year-old <a href="https://www.espn.in/f1/story/_/id/27015385/french-grand-prix-diary-kimi-wears-headphones-to-talk-people" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">married</a> his childhood friend Hanna Prater in 2019.

The 4-time World Champion lives in a medieval-style farmhouse in Thurgau, Switzerland. Vettel isn't one to splurge on flashy mansions, but his <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/sebastian-vettel-everything-there-is-to-know-about-his-luxurious-house/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">house</a> is impressive nonetheless!

While he races some of the fastest cars on track, he prefers two wheels off the track. The German driver has an enviable vintage motorcycle collection and often arrives at circuits on one of his cool bikes. However, he also owns a very cool car collection which, funnily enough, includes a Mercedes.
