Sebastian Vettel: The Career of a Champion

868 drivers from 41 different countries have competed in Formula 1 since its inception in 1950. The vast majority have played only a small part in the sport’s history or made a name for themselves elsewhere, but a significant minority have achieved longstanding success and immortalised themselves not only as icons of Formula 1, but the entire sporting world. One such driver broke numerous youth records early in his career, wowing everyone with his raw speed, while also being hot-headed and at times self-centred, but developed over time into a mature father figure in the Formula 1 paddock, with a kind-hearted nature and quick-witted sense of humour. An unstoppable force in his prime, who will soon be leaving Formula 1 with a legacy few can outrank, this is the story of Sebastian Vettel.

For me, seb is the greatest. I am 22 years old. He made me fall in love with this beautiful sport, both on and and off the track. A generational talent and serious athlete, but more importantly, a decent human being with really honest and emotional moments. A champion of human beings, as well as behind the wheel. Happy retirement Seb 👑

On a serious note, Vettel's ability to form strong relationships was a strength. He had his moments, but driving fast consistently alone is not sufficient to win multiple championships. F1 is a team sport, something whixh a few drivers seem to have forgotten recently.

@dedo7326 Год назад

It’s funny you shame max when vettel was much worst then max. You must have forgotten when seb bashed his car into Lewis in Baku under safety. I love seb because of how aggressive he is. We need more aggressive drivers unfortunately though these new DTS want family friendly corporate fake drivers who love each other and are besties. Seb was a jerk when he started in redbull. I have a strong feeling max will end up the same way. You people act like these drivers aren’t humans and can’t change. Max is young as was vettel when he started. And to be a champion you have to be selfish and before you say Lewis wasn’t selfish he was the star of selfish especially towards nico and Alonso. The only reason people think he is so nice is because they watched dts and saw him with bottas who was a door mat. I’m assuming you are a dts fan and didn’t actually watch prime vettel or 2008-2018 lewis because they weren’t far off on the selfish scale. It’s so annoying all the hate for max. Like we get it. Max isn’t even part of this and you brought it up.

Hungary 2021 is still one of the most painful moments of Seb's late career. I felt so bad for him because, even with some luck, he deserved second place. Then being disqualified for a technicality really hurt. Yes, rules are rules and everyone has to follow them and it's a good thing. Still sad. Didn't he also win the "most overtakes in a season" award in 2021? This is a great video, I can't imagine how much work went into it.

Just finished watching it, I took my time lol. Vettel is funny, light hearted, knowledgeable, passionate, supremely talented and a good guy in general. But the fact that he also can be hot-headed, error prone, hypocritical, selfish at times is what make him very special. More human and more relatable to me. Love you Seb, even in your booed podiums, your multi 21s, your sbinallas or your Hockenheim's (that one still hurts). Humans fuck up, and despite your lows, your highs are brighter than almost anyone else in F1 history.

@DannySB991 Год назад

Just started the video but wanted to share my 2 cents on Seb. I started watching F1 properly in 2010 at the start of the season, so in my first few years of following the sport I saw Seb grow and dominate the track. I remember at the time I used to get bored whenever I'd see Seb pull out a 3 second gap by the end of the first lap, but I always respected him for it. He was just on another level entirely. I find it funny how these days he's this really kind, passionate, forward thinking man yet in his RB years he was ruthless, and a killer on the track. The ultimate villian and I loved him for it. Since I started watching lots of drivers have retired, but none is hitting me quite as hard as Sebs. Always one of my favourites, and it's a real shame he never achieved what he wanted to with Ferrari. Danke Seb.

@Dimitris_Sard Год назад

I started watching F1 since 2009 and from my very first races as a fan I loved Sebastian more than any other driver, despite only being 4 years old at the time. He then became my idol by dominating the F1 world for the next years. And even though there were some painful moments I never regret my choice. He will remain my idol and a person to tell to the younger people for his on and off track actions. Now I am 17 years old and I strongly believe that Seb is one of the reasons I am who I am, and I dont really know how my life would have been without him. Thank you Peter as well for your hard work that helped me remind the good old days

Seb was as fast as anyone that ever got behind the wheel of a car. A true "master of going faster" winning 2 titles at the last race. 15 poles out of 19 races, or the 9 in a row, 4 titles in a row. Beating grids littered with world champions in their primes.

Vettel is my favorite driver, so talented he had 6 cars to fight for a championship won 4 of them, 2017 was leading most of the Championship with a slower car and only lost because of Malaysia and Japan (my opinion) in 2018 he lost because of his mistakes and never was the same, still an amazing career.

The thing everyone gets wrong about Seb is that he was always in his prime, the cars however were not prime championship winning machinery, like RB of 2014, The Ferraris that followed it and Astons that currently he drives. By his own admission in 2014 and in 2019 he was championship focused while Ricciardo and Charles were race focused. Ferrari's development in years 2016 to 2018 were not as aggressive and effective as the Mercs which allowed Lewis to overhaul Seb's lead. One must listen to the podcast, it's all there. Do pay attention to when he speaks of analyzing his rivals' performances of those made possible by them and of those made possible by their machineries. His Podcast was like an Encyclopedia into Formula One. Please listen forsakes of Formula One.

@@sandordomonkos8351 I think it was mostly down to the cars in those years. Remember Seb in 2014 came into the season with barely any testing under his belt due to Renault problems, compared to Danny who had considerably more miles under his belt. Also, Redbull learnt about Seb's Ferrari move (as admitted by Horner) very early in 2014 and they threw their weight behind Ricciardo. Well, in 2019 versus Charles it was partly car, party a discouraged Seb having lost 2018 title fight and mistakes by Seb and Charles is a very good driver who learnt and benefited a lot from Seb.

Hated Vettel when he first got into F1. He was unlikeable and drove for the wrong teams. When he came to Ferrari he seemed more down to earth and much more fun.

He already is a legend but it would be the drop on the hot stone as we say in German🤣

Vettel gets a lot of bad rep for 2018 but honestly people forget how Ferrari fucked up the development of the car in the second part of the season. Mercedes was just winning qualy after qualy. When you get under pressure like Vettel in this situation and the car isn't quite right, you make mistakes. You can see it in Hamilton in 2021 2022 and 2023. He is making mistakes that were uncharacteristic of him before. I still don't really think Ferrari had a car that could compete. The development in the second season was just not enough for a championship
