Sebastian Vettel, 4 time world champion, taking his new filly for an early morning stretch.

In his first year driving for Red Bull in 2009, Vettel finished the season as the youngest-ever World Drivers’ Championship runner-up. The following year he went on to become the youngest driver ever to win the World Drivers’ Championship, aged 23. In the same year he helped Red Bull win the team’s first World Constructors’ Championship. He followed up his first championship with three more titles, becoming the youngest double, triple and quadruple world champion in Formula One. The 2010 and 2012 titles were decided in the final round, in 2010 coming out on top over Fernando Alonso and Ferrari in a four-way title battle at Abu Dhabi, whilst in 2012 defeating Alonso and Ferrari again by three points. The 2011 and 2013 titles saw Vettel dominating the seasons and wrapping up the titles early.

Vettel left Red Bull Racing and ended his long-term association with the company after the 2014 season and signed a contract with Ferrari for 2015, after activating a clause to terminate his Red Bull contract early. After his winless 2014 season he returned to winning ways in his first Ferrari season, being the closest challenger to the dominant Mercedes cars and winning three races.

Vettel has held numerous other “youngest” Formula One records, among them: the youngest driver to have taken part in an official practice session of a Grand Prix (until Max Verstappen at the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix), to score championship points (until Daniil Kvyat at the 2014 Australian Grand Prix), to lead a race (until Max Verstappen at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix), to win a race (until Max Verstappen at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix) and to secure pole position. He is also currently in fourth place among all time race winners.
