Sebastian Vettel admits he is scared to retire from F1 amid concern over 'security'

Aston Martin star Sebastian Vettel admitted he is afraid to face the uncertainty of what comes next in his life once he walks away from Formula 1.

The four-time world champion has been in the sport since the 2007 season, where he made his debut in a one-off race with BMW Sauber. Vettel impressively came home in eighth at the United States Grand Prix to become the then-youngest driver to score a point and was subsequently signed by Red Bull to their Toro Rosso team.

Vettel replaced Scott Speed in the Toro Rosso seat from the 2007 Hungarian Grand Prix onwards, and has since driven for Red Bull - where he won all four of his world championships between 2010 and 2013 - Ferrari, and now Aston Martin. Along with his multiple titles, Vettel has collected the third-most Grands Prix wins with 53 Grands Prix along with 57 pole positions to cement his legacy as one of the f inest drivers in the sport’s history.
