After six years with Scuderia Ferrari, Sebastian Vettel’s time with the iconic Formula 1 team has come to an end. The four-time world champion will be leaving the team at the end of the 2020 season, as announced by both parties ahead of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Vettel’s departure from Ferrari marks the end of an era for both the driver and the team. Since joining Ferrari in 2015, the German driver has experienced highs and lows with the Italian outfit. He came close to winning the championship in 2017 and 2018, but ultimately fell short to Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton.

In recent years, Vettel has faced increased competition within the team from his younger teammate Charles Leclerc. The Monegasque driver’s impressive performances and rising star status have put pressure on Vettel to deliver results, leading to tensions within the team.

Vettel’s future in Formula 1 is now uncertain, as he will be looking for a new team for the 2021 season. Speculation has been rife about where he might end up, with rumors linking him to Racing Point, Renault, and even a potential retirement from the sport.

As the sun sets on Vettel’s time with Ferrari, both the driver and the team will be reflecting on their time together. Vettel has expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to drive for Ferrari, calling it a privilege and an honor. Ferrari, in turn, has thanked Vettel for his contributions to the team and wished him well in his future endeavors.

The 2020 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix marks the end of an era for Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari. As the sun sets on their time together, both parties will be looking ahead to the future and the new challenges that lie ahead. Only time will tell where Vettel’s next chapter in Formula 1 will take him, but one thing is for certain – his time with Ferrari will always be remembered as part of the team’s rich history.
