Alexander GovorovCorrespondent SportAll materialsFour-time world champion «Formula 1» Sebastian Vettel announced his retirement, but the fans should not regret it. Moreover, the German probably opened the way to the Royal Race for the Russian pilot Robert Schwartzman. A phenomenal career start Sebastian Vettel is certainly a great pilot. Even those who believe that his four league titles with Red Bull were largely due to a strong car do not argue with this much. The German made his F1 debut in 2007 when he replaced an injured Robert Kubica in a BMW. And then he got into Toro Rosso, the junior team of Red Bull. His first full season in F-1 turned out to be excellent. What is at least a victory in the rain race in Monza in 2008. It was something incredible, because the car «Toro Rosso» hardly allowed to fight not only for victories or podiums, but simply for test points. Moreover, Seb broke the Formula 1 record by becoming the youngest participant in the championship to score points. It is curious that in 2014 this record was surpassed by the Russian racer Daniil Kvyat. Transfer to Red Bull and four titles in a row But that was later, and in 2009 Vettel went on promotion to Red Bull. With the Austrian team, the German took four league titles in a row. Then not the best human qualities of Seb appeared, who constantly made life difficult for his partner Mark Webber. The German once even ignored the order of the team, which asked him not to overtake the Australian in order to secure the first and second positions. Vettel disobeyed and quite brazenly ahead of Webber, winning. However, such a character brought him championship titles and fame. Everything went awry when another Australian Daniel Ricciardo became his partner. The young guy suddenly drove consistently faster than the four-time champion. Seb began to panic and fled to the Ferrari, which was preparing to fight for the titles.
