Sebastian Vettel finally secured a podium at the Turkish Grand Prix. Until Imola, Vettel has had a forgetful season with Ferrari. He came close to a podium at Imola, but a 13.5-second pit stop took that away.
He finally stepped on a podium at Istanbul. He overtook Charles Leclerc with just 2 corners to go to finish P3. Vettel has won 4 World Championships driving for Red Bull. He will move to Racing Point/Aston Martin come 2021 in the hopes of improving that stat.
In a recent interview, the German was asked about the possibility of his retirement. He replied, “I’m 33 now, at 40 I don’t want to drive anymore. So anything between three and seven years could be realistic.”
