About Sebastian

Sebastian Vettel is one of the most iconic names in F1 history. Seb started in F1 as Sauber’s test driver in 2006 making a one-off racing appearance in 2007 and then spent a season and a half with Toro Roso.
Only 2 drivers have driven more races than Sebastian – Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso. Seb’s golden era of 4 consecutive world championships commenced in 2010 at Red Bull and at the time, he was the youngest world champion.
From 2015-2020 he drove for Ferrari finishing 2nd twice before securing a drive at Aston Martin for season 2021.
Despite his years in the sport and obvious success, he remains one of the most approachable and witty people in the paddock, albeit he’s not at every race.
Seb married former industrial design student and current fashion designer Hanna Prater in 2019. Hanna values her privacy and has seldom been spotted in the paddock.
While Seb deftly handles the immense media interest in him, he is careful to keep his family out of the public eye; in fact I’ve never seen Hanna or his children in the paddock.
Seb retired from F1 in 2022 following the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
