Ferrari [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/ferrari/] driver Sebastian Vettel was in a prime position to get a decent run during the Spanish GP [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Grand_Prix] 2019. However, he did himself no favours when he got alongside Valtteri Bottas [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/valtteri-bottas/], only to lock up and compromise his line. He tried to attack pole man Bottas again, but he only succeeded in forcing teammate Charles LeClerc [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/charles-leclerc/] wide. A gleeful Max Verstappen [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/max-verstappen/] needed no second invitation and swooped into 3rd. Then, Vettel and LeClerc began to tussle while the other three got away, with Lewis Hamilton [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lewis-hamilton/] leading them. However, Scuderia Ferrari finally intervened and told Vettel to swap places with LeClerc. So far, Lewis Hamilton is running away in the lead and teammate Bottas is chasing him in 2nd. Verstappen looks comfortable in 3rd with LeClerc and Sebastian Vettel struggling to make an impression. So make matters worse for Sebastian Vettel, he locked up into the first turn and flatspotted his tyres https://streamable.com/08tfb

<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><strong>Circuit Information</strong></h2>
&nbsp;

The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is situated in Montmelo. It is characterized by long straights and a decent mix of corners. The track's seating capacity stands at 140,700 and it has an FIA Grade 1 license.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"></sup>

The circuit length is 4.655 km, and the race is normally 66 laps long. This covers a distance of 307.104 km at an average time of 1:35:29.972.
<h2><strong>Overtaking Hotspots</strong></h2>
&nbsp;

Of course, the main straight is a prime overtaking spot as it is a kilometer long and a DRS zone. So, there are plenty of slipstreaming opportunities. Just at the end of the straight is a right-left sequence, which can provide decent action.

This is followed by a long sweeping right-hander, and another chance to pounce. The next chance to overtake is at Turn 5, where drivers head downhill and can dive down the inside.

Another excellent overtaking hotspot is at the end of the back straight, another DRS zone. Finally, there is the 200kph final corner, where many a race has been won or lost.

<strong>History</strong>

The Formula One World Championship first started back in 1950. The very first F1 champion was Italy's Guiseppe Farina who raced for Alfa Romeo.

The sport has had 33 different champions in its history and a few of them are multiple championship winners. Currently, the driver with the most championships is <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-schumacher/">Michael Schumacher</a> with 7 under his belt. However, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mercedes">Mercedes</a> driver <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lewis-hamilton/">Lewis Hamilton</a> will be eager to overhaul that. Hamilton currently holds 6 World Championships and stands on the cusp of equalling Michael Schumacher's record at the end of the season.

For a long time, Bernie Ecclestone was the F1 supremo, having founded the Formula One Group. He?spent 40 years as chief executive of the company after gaining control of the commercial rights.

But in 2017, he stepped down and ownership was handed to Liberty Media who have been taking care of F1 since then. To herald their control, they even changed the F1 logo.

Chase Carey was the first F1 CEO in the 'liberty era' of F1 and will be stepping down at the end of the year. Former Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali will succeed the American in 2021.

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.

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>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.

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.
