Sebastian Vettel announced via his newly created Instagram that he will retire from Formula One at the end of the 2022 season. 

He made his debut back in ’07 with Sauber, competing in the United States Grand Prix. Throughout his legendary career, the German has tallied four world championships (’10 to ’13), 53 race wins and 122 podiums. He joined Aston Martin on a two-year deal in ’21 after departing from Ferrari, and his contract is up at the end of the season. Now, Aston Martin will find a driver to fill the vacancy alongside Lance Stroll.
