Lewis Hamilton is gutted to see his old rival Sebastian Vettel retire from Formula 1.
They have been in F1 for a similar amount of time, both making their debuts in 2007 – though Vettel's first permanent race seat didn't come until the following year. And they have spent much of it as title rivals, as evidenced by the 11 world championships won between them.
But while Hamilton's career looks set to continue for a while yet, Vettel is close to the conclusion of his own. He will retire at the end of this season, giving fans just two more races to watch the German in action before he leaves to spend more time with his family.
