There will be no fairy tale ending to the legendary career of Sebastian Vettel. The German driver started his F1 career in 2007 with BMW Sauber. But he burst onto the scene with his performances in the Red Bull junior team, Toro Rosso.
From the moment he left the team in 2009, he achieved greatness in the sport with 4 World Championships and multiple wins. But Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has confirmed that a return to Red Bull’s junior team is not on the cards for Vettel.
