Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniel-ricciardo/] were teammates at Red Bull, during the 2014 F1 season. This was the duo’s only season together at Red Bull [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/red-bull/] before Vettel left for Ferrari. It was a season in which Vettel finished without a win, while Ricciardo won three races, helping Red Bull to a second-place finish. Fast forward to 6 years later, the 4-time world champion finds himself without a drive for 2021, while Ricciardo leaves Renault for McLaren. Nevertheless, Ricciardo only has high praise and respect for his former teammate. DANIEL RICCIARDO CALLS SEBASTIAN VETTEL A SUPERSTAR IN F1 Sebastian Vettel [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Sebastian-Vettel-SF-90-1.jpg] Speaking about Vettel, in an Instagram live, Ricciardo said, “I have very good memories of working with Vettel. Of course, we had difficult conditions, especially for Sebastian after four world titles, but he was still as competitive on the track as before. After the race, he always came to me and congratulated me on the result. Not only was he a good sportsman, but he was always very honest and sincere. That’s what he did when the cameras were off. I got a lot of respect for him there.” Furthermore, he said, “We’ve always respected each other and he’s one of the superstars of our sport. He does everything on his own. He’s not on Instagram and he’s really someone of the old school. I respect that too, because he has to be able to stand behind his own things.” It is clear for all to see how much respect the Australian has for the German and likewise. A week ago [https://www.planetf1.com/news/daniel-ricciardo-sebastian-vettel-2021/], Daniel Ricciardo had sung some more praises of the 4-time world champion and hoped that he didn’t retire in 2021. However, for the moment, Vettel is still a Ferrari and driver and Ricciardo still has a season at Renault. Both of them will be looking to hit the ground (track) running and will be hoping for a better season in 2020, than the one they had last year. 

Current Renault driver, Daniel Ricciardo has only praise and respect for former
Red Bull teammate and 4-time world champion, Sebastian Vettel.

<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. They have also entered 1010 GPs, winning 237 and scoring 768 podium finishes. They have also clinched 228 pole positions.
<h2>Sponsors</h2>
Their title sponsor is Mission Winnow. Other sponsors include Shell, Ray-Ban, Kaspersky, UPS, Hublot, Mahle, and OMR.
<h2>How much does Ferrari earn from F1?</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. Furthermore, the Italian powerhouse is reportedly valued at $1350 Million and generated a <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/chrissmith/2019/11/26/formula-one-team-values-ferrari-mercedes/?sh=66e8a69f1ddb" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">revenue</a> of $426 Million for the 2019 season.
<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>Best Moments of Ferrari F1 team</h2>
<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>Red Bull: 2021 Latest News, Results, Drivers, and Car Updates</h2>
The Red Bull team made their official F1 debut back in 2005. However, the origin of the team themselves can be traced back to 1997. At that time, they were known as the Stewart Racing team, a team owned by F1 legend and triple World Champion, Sir Jackie Stewart.

[caption id="attachment_495654" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-495654" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201229114122/2020-12-13T134329Z_1480797127_UP1EGCD124HZO_RTRMADP_3_MOTOR-F1-ABUDHABI.jpg" alt="Red Bull's Max Verstappen leading the pack during the 2020 Abu Dhabi GP" width="1920" height="1120" /> Formula One F1 - Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - Red Bull's Max Verstappen in action during the race Pool via REUTERS/Giuseppe Cacace[/caption]

He sold the team to the American company, Ford, who rebranded the team to Jaguar Racing. The iconic British manufacturer would race in the sport until the end of the 2004 season. In the following year, Red Bull took up the reins. Though they were, at best, a midfield team in their early days, in 2009, the dynamic shifted completely.

Red Bull?s drivers for the 2021 season are <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/max-verstappen/">Max Verstappen</a> and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sergio-perez/">Sergio Perez</a>. Perez takes the seat from Alex Albon, who is the new test driver for the team.
<h2><strong>Red Bull: On-track Achievements</strong></h2>
They enjoyed a fairly strong start to their debut season when David Coulthard finished fourth in Australia. A year later, he bagged a maiden podium at the 2006 Monaco Grand Prix. A few more intermittent podiums followed until 2009, when the team bagged their first win, courtesy of Sebastian Vettel.

That year, the team amassed six wins and finished second in the Championship. Then came the magnum opus, four Drivers' and Constructors' titles on the trot, all thanks to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/">Sebastian Vettel</a>.

Red Bull's dominant run in F1 ended with the introduction of the turbo-hybrid era in Formula 1. While the team still clinch the odd pole or win, they are yet to replicate their supremacy from the early 2010s.

As of September 2020, the team had 64 race wins, 182 podiums, and four Drivers' and Constructors' Championships in F1. The team has entered 304 races and amassed over a massive tally of 5043.5 points.
<h2>Does Red Bull have two F1 teams?</h2>
Part of what makes Red Bull such a unique F1 entity is their connection to Scuderia AlphaTauri. AlphaTauri, formerly known as Toro Rosso, is the Austrian outfit's Italian sister team.

Red Bull Racing doesn't necessarily 'own' AlphaTauri. Technically, both teams are owned by the famed drinks company - Red Bull GmbH. The Austrian company's founder - Dietrich Mateschitz, purchased Red Bull (formerly known as Jaguar), followed by Toro Rosso (formerly known as Minardi), as part of a collaboration with former F1 driver Gerhard Berger.

Unofficially, AlphaTauri functions as a proving ground for Red Bull's younger drivers who have the potential to step up and drive for Red Bull Racing.
<h2>How much did Red Bull spend on F1?</h2>
According to <a href="https://www.racefans.net/2020/01/02/the-cost-of-f1-2019-part-two-what-the-top-teams-spent/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">reports</a>, the team spent $335 million in their F1 ventures for the 2019 season.

Red Bull

Red Bull: 2021 Latest News, Results, Drivers, and Car Updates The Red Bull team made their official F1 debut back in 2005. However, the origin of the team themselves can be traced back to 1997. At that time, they were known as the Stewart Racing team, a team owned by F1 legend and triple World Champion, Sir Jackie Stewart. Formula One F1 &#8211; Abu Dhabi Grand Prix &#8211; Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates &#8211; Red Bull&#8217;s Max Verstappen in action during the race Pool via REUTERS/Giuseppe Cacace He sold the team to the American company, Ford, who rebranded the team to Jaguar Racing. The iconic British manufacturer would race in the sport until the end of the 2004 season. In the following year, Red Bull took up the reins. Though they were, at best, a midfield team in their early days, in 2009, the dynamic shifted completely. Red Bull?s drivers for the 2021 season are Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez. Perez takes the seat from Alex Albon, who is the new test driver for the team. Red Bull: On-track Achievements They enjoyed a fairly strong start to their debut season when David Coulthard finished fourth in Australia. A year later, he bagged a maiden podium at the 2006 Monaco Grand Prix. A few more intermittent podiums followed until 2009, when the team bagged their first win, courtesy of Sebastian Vettel. That year, the team amassed six wins and finished second in the Championship. Then came the magnum opus, four Drivers&#8217; and Constructors&#8217; titles on the trot, all thanks to Sebastian Vettel. Red Bull&#8217;s dominant run in F1 ended with the introduction of the turbo-hybrid era in Formula 1. While the team still clinch the odd pole or win, they are yet to replicate their supremacy from the early 2010s. As of September 2020, the team had 64 race wins, 182 podiums, and four Drivers&#8217; and Constructors&#8217; Championships in F1. The team has entered 304 races and amassed over a massive tally of 5043.5 points. Does Red Bull have two F1 teams? Part of what makes Red Bull such a unique F1 entity is their connection to Scuderia AlphaTauri. AlphaTauri, formerly known as Toro Rosso, is the Austrian outfit&#8217;s Italian sister team. Red Bull Racing doesn&#8217;t necessarily &#8216;own&#8217; AlphaTauri. Technically, both teams are owned by the famed drinks company &#8211; Red Bull GmbH. The Austrian company&#8217;s founder &#8211; Dietrich Mateschitz, purchased Red Bull (formerly known as Jaguar), followed by Toro Rosso (formerly known as Minardi), as part of a collaboration with former F1 driver Gerhard Berger. Unofficially, AlphaTauri functions as a proving ground for Red Bull&#8217;s younger drivers who have the potential to step up and drive for Red Bull Racing. How much did Red Bull spend on F1? According to reports, the team spent $335 million in their F1 ventures for the 2019 season. How much does Red Bull earn from F1? As a reward for its efforts, the Milton-Keynes based outfit received approximately $335 million in prize money for the 2019 season. The Austrian outfit did not report a healthy profit, but thankfully, it wasn&#8217;t a loss. The FOM split from the $335 million is reportedly $150 million (including bonuses).

<h2>Renault: 2021 Latest News, Results, Drivers and Car Updates</h2>
The Renault F1 team first began their F1 operations in 1977 and even supplied engines from 1983. During their first stint in the sport, they won two F1 World Championships, both with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/fernando-alonso/">Fernando Alonso</a>. They left the sport after the 2011 season, finding their way back in 2016.

Another significant event occurred when Renault debuted, namely the introduction of turbo engines. Renault's 2020 driver lineup consists of former Red Bull star Daniel Ricciardo and Esteban Ocon.

Renault's iconic yet modern yellow and black livery is set to change from 2021 when the team rebrands itself to Alpine F1 with a possible livery change reminiscent of the French tricolor. Esteban Ocon and Fernando Alonso will drive for the team in 2021.

The Renault logo is synonymous with both its road cars and racing team alike. The French team's logo consists of a <a href="https://group.renault.com/en/news-on-air/news/120-years-of-brand-identity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">diamond</a>.
<h2><strong>On-track Achievements</strong></h2>
Renault?s first win and first podium both came at the same race. Jean-Pierre Jabouille won the 1979 French Grand Prix, and Rene Arnoux took third.

Their results were very intermittent with numerous retirements, and they withdrew as a team after 1985.

The Renault F1 team would return to the fray in 2002, taking over from the Benetton team. Renault did not start winning again until 2003, with a solitary win from Fernando Alonso.

Renault F1 went another year winless in 2004 before the dynamic changed dramatically in 2005, when Fernando Alonso and Giancarlo Fisichella dominated the proceedings and took the title. The two repeated the same feat in 2006, with Alonso finishing no lower than fifth during the season.

So far, Renault have bagged 35 race wins, and 103 podiums in 400 race starts. The team has amassed 1,777 points over the course of their storied stint in F1.

The team pulled out yet again in 2011 and rejoined in 2016. Their drivers for that year were Kevin Magnussen and Jolyon Palmer. When Magnussen left for Haas, Nico Hulkenberg jumped ship from Force India to the French team.

Later, when Palmer?s contract was terminated, Carlos Sainz was loaned to them by Toro Rosso. Hulkenberg and Sainz would race together for the 2018 season until Sainz moved to McLaren for 2019.

In yet another sequence of driver shuffling, Renault's 2021 lineup will consist of Esteban Ocon and the returning Fernando Alonso.

Alonso will replace Daniel Ricciardo, who is McLaren bound for the 2021 season.
<h2>When did Renault last win in F1?</h2>
Renault's last win in F1 remains the 2008 Japanese Grand Prix, won by Fernando Alonso.

<h2>Best Moments of Renault F1 team</h2>

<h2>Which F1 teams use Renault engines?</h2>
Once one of the most sought-after engine suppliers on the grid, Renault currently supply engines to McLaren alone. However, with McLaren set to switch to Mercedes power in 2021, Renault won't have any customer teams next season.
<h2><strong>Renault?s Sponsors</strong></h2>
Renault are currently <a href="https://www.renaultsport.com/-formule-1-partners-.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">partnered</a> by DP World, Castrol, Infiniti, and RCI Banking Services as their main sponsors. Their other sponsors include Mapfre, Dupont Microsoft, Alpinestars, Boeing, Pirelli, Siemens, and more.
<h2>Renault's charities and foundations</h2>
Responding to the UK government's call for assistance, several F1 teams joined hands in the fight against COVID-19. Renault were one of the seven F1 teams that helped in manufacturing required medical equipment, crucial in the fight against the virus.

The initiative was titled 'Project Pitlane" and even saw Renault <a href="https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/red-bull-renault-horner-unthinkable-scenario/4787716/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">working</a> side by side with Red Bull at the latter's Milton-Keynes factory in the UK.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Daniel Ricciardo 2024: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
Daniel Ricciardo is an Australian racing driver currently driving for the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls F1 Team. He made his Formula 1 debut at the British GP in 2011, driving for Hispania Racing. His first F1 win came in the 2014 season at the Canadian GP in his debut season for Red Bull Racing. Ricciardo has accumulated 8 race wins over the course of his career, with the 2018 Monaco GP win being the feather in his cap.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Daniel Ricciardo's Career Timeline</h2>
One of the best overtakers in the game, Daniel Ricciardo, made his Formula 1 debut in 2011 with HRT. A year later, he moved to <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/toro-rosso/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Toro Rosso</a> alongside Jean-Eric Vergne. After two years with the Faenza-based team, he graduated to Red Bull and partnered with <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Sebastian Vettel</a>. He remained with the team after Vettel's departure in 2015, this time teaming up with <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniil-kvyat/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Daniil Kvyat</a>. The two raced together until mid-2016 when Kvyat was demoted to Toro Rosso and Max Verstappen took his place.

In mid-2018, Daniel Ricciardo announced his departure from Red Bull after an association of five seasons. Ricciardo joined Renault in 2019, partnering with Nico Hulkenberg. However, it came as a shock when Ricciardo affirmed that he wouldn't be extending his contract with the French outfit.

Many believed Ricciardo would eventually join Ferrari - given his hunger and passion to win the world championship, not to mention his Italian heritage. Sadly, it never came to pass. The Australian was in talks with Ferrari, but the negotiations never amounted to anything serious. He was beaten to a seat at the Scuderia by McLaren's Carlos Sainz.

After a largely unsuccessful stint with Renault, The Honey Badger announced his switch to McLaren for the 2021 season. Ricciardo teamed up with Lando Norris over his first stint. Despite largely trailing the Briton, Ricciardo managed to break the shackles at the Italian Grand Prix by claiming his first F1 victory since the 2018 Monaco Grand Prix and the first for McLaren since the 2012 Brazilian GP.

After a string of disappointing results during the 2022 season, McLaren terminated his contract a year in advance and, soon later after the conclusion of the Japanese GP qualifying, he announced his departure from the F1 grid for the 2023 season. He went on to take up the role of the Red Bull 3rd driver. However, following the release of Nyck de Vries from his AlphaTauri seat, Ricciardo was announced as his replacement, and the Hungarian GP marked his return to AlphaTauri and Formula 1.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Daniel Ricciardo's Personal Life</h2>
For someone who's quite open and active across social media, Ricciardo is quite reserved about his personal life. The Australian prefers to keep his family and relationships away from the limelight. Daniel's father is Giuseppe “Joe” Ricciardo and his mother is Grace Ricciardo. His father was born in Ficarra, Italy, and moved to Australia aged 7. His mother is Australian-born, however, she is of Italian descent as well. Daniel's sister's name is Michelle. Daniel's father Giuseppe is a former driver and has raced at the Barbagallo Raceway in Western Australia.

There were rumors of Ricciardo dating an Australian model Jessica Gomes in 2018, but the Honey Badger <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-6754573/Daniel-Ricciardo-29-denies-dating-Jessica-Gomes-34-admits-rumours-positive.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denied</a> the same. Since 2022, Daniel Ricciardo has been in a <a href="https://people.com/who-is-heidi-berger-daniel-ricciardo-8349982" target="_blank" rel="noopener">relationship with Heidi Berger</a>. Heidi is the daughter of former Austrian F1 driver Gerhard Berger and her mother is former Portuguese model Ana Corvo. Gerhard has driven for F1 teams such as Ferrari, McLaren, and Benetton.

Apart from F1, Ricciardo follows the NFL, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-nlf-afc-news-alphatauri-news-how-did-daniel-ricciardo-and-josh-allen-become-friends-what-nfl-team-does-the-f1-star-support/">Buffalo Bills is his favorite team</a>. He owns a Bills jersey and is great friends with Josh Allen. Ricciardo also has an impressive tattoo collection, which is pretty ironic, considering his fear of needles.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Daniel Ricciardo: Stats and on-track </strong><b>Achievements</b></h2>
A ninth-placed finish saw Ricciardo score his first set of points in Australia in 2012. His first podium came at the Spanish GP in 2014 when he finished third. He followed it up with another third-place finish in Monaco. The Perth native snatched his maiden win at the 2014 Canadian Grand Prix. Ricciardo went on to win two more races that year, in Hungary and Belgium.

While Ricciardo wowed fans with his incredible racecraft, he also has a unique taste in helmets. Daniel Ricciardo's 2019 lid, with the words <em>"Stop Being Them"</em> caught everyone's attention and instantly became a fan favorite. His 2020 helmet is an evolution of the 2019 lid, with some crazy color combinations that truly stand out. It was a similar crazy design in 2021 as well, with the theme being 'All good, all ways'.

<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.

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>. His support is mainly focused on children's welfare and also sports.

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.

Vettel has donated to the 'Grace P Kelly Association' - a German organization that aids children affected by cancer.

In early 2019, Vettel teamed up with teammates Charles Leclerc and star footballer Cristiano Ronaldo in a charity football match for the Piedmontese Foundation for Cancer Research and for the Telethon Foundation.

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. He has 3 kids - <a href="https://www.welt.de/sport/formel1/article122767788/Sebastian-Vettel-wird-zum-ersten-Mal-Vater.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Emilie</a>, Mathilda, and a son <a href="https://f1i.com/news/362905-vettel-excused-from-media-day-following-birth-of-third-child.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">born</a> in November 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.

<h4><strong>How to contact Sebastian Vettel</strong></h4>
Sebastian Vettel prefers staying away from the limelight and likes keeping his personal life, well, personal!

Vettel is the only driver on the 2021 grid not to have a social media account. But don't get your hopes up because the German's <a href="https://f1i.com/news/326225-vettel-reveals-why-hes-no-fan-of-social-media.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">made it clear</a> that he has no intention of joining Instagram, Twitter, or any other social network.

However, that doesn't mean Sebastian's completely disconnected from his fans. On the contrary, Vettel enjoys reading and responding to fan mail and queries.

Most recently, his iconic white helmet with German stripes is easily recognizable and has become a classic helmet design on the grid.

Sebastian Vettel: Net Worth 2022 His contract with Ferrari in 2020 put his annual salary 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&#8217;s driven for two very rich teams: Red Bull with their massive budget and Ferrari with their legacy, ensuring his lifetime earnings at $140 million. 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 paid 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. Sebastian Vettel: Ferrari journey and contract However, his Ferrari stint wasn&#8217;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&#8217;s Ferrari journey was full of ups and downs. He endured a difficult season in 2016 &#8211; scoring no wins and driving a car that wasn&#8217;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&#8217; 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&#8217;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&#8217;s winning streak, but a sequence of driver errors meant it was not to be.

(Photo by Charles Coates/Getty Images) 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&#8217; Championship. The equation between Vettel and teammate Charles Leclerc 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 &#8211; 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&#8217;s line-up for 2021 replacing Sergio Perez. In September 2021, Aston Martin affirmed that Vettel&#8217;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.
