“When I am 40, then I will no longer race. Then I will eat what I want. I’m getting as fat as a pudding sandwich,” said Max Verstappen [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/max-verstappen/], dreaming of the times when he wouldn’t have to adhere to a strict diet. However, this fantasy was cut short by his girlfriend, Kelly Piquet. This probably indicated who the boss was at home. However, in a recent revelation, Red Bull [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/red-bull/] TP, Christian Horner has spilled beans on another person who isn’t afraid of the ruthless driver. The fearless person is Gianpiero Lambiase, or GP, as we know him. He is an extremely integral part of Verstappen’s career. Max had once even declared that the day GP stops will be the day he will hang his boots as well. The duo enjoys a close association, but perhaps that comes with the brutal honesty required to keep growing. And this is what Horner has highlighted.

The dynamic between the two is so intense that in between you have to ask yourself who is supposed to be the driver and who is supposed to be the engineer here.” Hails Red Bull’s “Genius” Innovations Causing a One-Sided F1 Affair [https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-weeks-after-brutal-trolling-by-lewis-hamilton-fans-f1-journalist-hails-red-bulls-genius-innovations-causing-a-one-sided-f1-affair/] Horner further went on to pinpoint the similarities between the team’s first world champion and the current one. CHRISTIAN HORNER DRAWS A PARALLEL BETWEEN MAX VERSTAPPEN AND SEBASTIAN VETTEL YET AGAIN While Horner [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/christian-horner/] already highlighted the fundamental value of GP in Max’s life, he drew a parallel as well. He compared Verstappen with their last champion, Sebastian Vettel. Sebastian Vettel [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-11-19T104841Z_2106620835_UP1EIBJ0U1336_RTRMADP_3_MOTOR-F1-ABUDHABI.jpg]Formula One F1 – Abu Dhabi Grand Prix – Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates – November 19, 2022.

<h2><strong>Christian Horner: 2021 Net worth, Salary, and Endorsements</strong></h2>
Christian Horner is the present team boss of the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/red-bull/">Aston Martin Red Bull team</a>. The Briton has been with the team since their debut in 2005.

Ahead of his career with the Milton-Keynes based outfit, Horner functioned in the world of Formula 3000. He retired from racing at 25, under his own discretion, considering his speed. Horner let himself focus on developing the Arden team, for whom he had prior raced.
<h2><strong>On-track </strong><b>Achievements</b></h2>
Admittedly, Horner was unsuccessful in the racing scene. He recorded the highest position of 6th in 1997 with the Arden team.

After retiring from racing, Horner signed Viktor Maslov and Marc Goossens in the 1999 FIA F3000 season. Arden also competed in Italian F3000 in the year 2000, winning 3 races and finishing second in the Championship.

After parting company with Lukoil, a new driver line-up was named for 2002. Tomáš Enge and Björn Wirdheim took 5 victories and a title for Enge. Arden also won the Team Championship that year, followed by many more.
<h2>Christian Horner in Red Bull</h2>
It wasn't long before Horner knocked on the doors of Formula One. He entered discussions with Eddie Jordan regarding buying the Jordan Grand Prix; however, those talks fell flat. In 2004, Red Bull purchased the Jaguar F1 Team to become Red Bull Racing.

In January 2005, Horner was appointed to lead the team, effectively recording his name in the history books as the youngest Team Principal. Under him, drivers David Coulthard and Christian Klien finished 4th and 7tj in Australia, scoring 34 points in the season.

He also played a key role in recruiting McLaren technical guru, Adrian Newey. Newey was later announced as the team's Chief Technical Officer in November 2005.

2006 was a transitional year, and though the car was unreliable, it grabbed a maiden podium finish at the <a title="Monaco Grand Prix" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monaco_Grand_Prix">Monaco Grand Prix</a>. In utmost happiness, Christian Horner jumped into a swimming pool, one of his most iconic moments to date.

The team ranked 2nd in the 2009 Constructors' Championship with Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber. The racers achieved 2nd and 4th position, respectively, in the Drivers' Championship title race. In addition, they bagged 6 titles altogether.

In 2010, the team won their first Constructors' Championship with one race to spare. Sebastian Vettel won the Drivers' Championship title at the last race of the season, becoming the youngest World Champion.

At 36, Horner was the youngest Team Principal to have won a Formula 1 Constructors' Championship, forging his name in the record books yet again.

In 2011, the team won their second Constructors' Championship with three races to spare.

Sebastian Vettel became the world's youngest champion twice. Soon, Vettel grabbed 2 more titles for the Austrian outfit.
<h2>Christain Horner: 2021 Net Worth</h2>
Horner holds an honorary rank of an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE). He received the award in 2013.

The Red Bull Team Principal reportedly holds a <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/race-car-drivers/christian-horner-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">net worth</a> of $50 million and brings home a salary of $10 million annually.
<h2>Best Moments of Christian Horner</h2>

<h2><strong>Foundations and Charity Work</strong></h2>
On the account of philanthropy, Christian Horner presently holds the rank of Ambassador in the Wings For Life Foundation.

The primary aim of the foundation is to raise awareness regarding spinal cord injury. In addition, funding the foundation’s crucial research into finding a cure is the other motto.
<h2>How to contact Christian Horner</h2>
The current team boss of Red Bull is clearly active on various social media platforms.

He keeps his followers updated on regular intervals with his personal opinions and musings through his profile on <a href="https://instagram.com/christianhornerofficial?igshid=16ypqpxqhv80r">Instagram.</a>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Max Verstappen 2024: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
Max Verstappen was a child prodigy who was roped in by Red Bull F1 at a very young age. He moved into F1 directly from F3 at the age of 17 during the 2015 Australian Grand Prix, partneringÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/carlos-sainz/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Carlos Sainz Jr</a> in Toro Rosso. For the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix, he was promoted to Red Bull, a race that he won. There was a lot of hype around his entry into Formula 1, and it was completely justified.

He has always been classified as the next big thing in Formula 1, and many anticipate him to do what Lewis Hamilton is doing in the current F1 era. Such is his might and skill, that former F1 drivers, Jenson Button and <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/fernando-alonso/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Fernando Alonso,</a>Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.out-of-this-world-verstappen-on-same-level-as-schumacher-and-alonso-says.6BLkA9yf5x1Qy1rHLyRQPW.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">labeled</a>Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.planetf1.com/news/alonso-verstappen-is-the-best-driver-in-f1/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">him as one of the best F1 drivers on the grid</a>.

<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><b>Max Verstappen: </b>Personal life</h2>
Max Verstappen's father - Jos Verstappen was an F1 driver who currently manages him. Jos' F1 career wasn't quite as successful as his son's. His mother's name is Sophie Kumpen. Verstappen's sister, <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.instagram.com/victoriaverstappen/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Victoria</a>, enjoys a healthy following on social media and has her own fashion line.

The latter even showed up at the 2021 Monaco Grand Prix, where Verstappen won his second F1 race of the season. She was standing amongst the Red Bull crew during the podium celebrations. Following the nerve-wracking 2021 season, Verstappen and Piquet spent their Christmas and New Year with the Piquet family in Brazil. Kelly is the daughter of 3-time champion Nelson Piquet.

<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><strong>Max Verstappen's Stats and On-track </strong><b>Achievements</b></h2>
Considering the age at which he joined Formula 1, he has multiple records to his name. He is the youngest driver to start a race, score points, be a race leader, step on the podium, and set the fastest lap. Sadly, the one record that eluded him was the Youngest pole sitter, a record that still belongs to <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Sebastian Vettel</a>.

With his race win at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix, he also became the youngest driver to win a Grand Prix. 2019 initially remained one of his best seasons in F1. He had to take a leadership role in the team with Daniel Ricciardo departing to Renault. Max Verstappen took 3 race victories and 2 pole positions to bring glory to both Red Bull and an ailing Honda.

[caption id="attachment_2223056" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-2223056 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2023-10-07T194412Z_27526334_UP1EJA71ITMO9_RTRMADP_3_MOTOR-F1-QATAR.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1340" /> Formula One F1 - Qatar Grand Prix - Lusail International Circuit, Lusail, Qatar - October 7, 2023 Red Bull's Max Verstappen celebrates with his team after winning the championship REUTERS/Hamad I Mohammed[/caption]

However, then arrived the 2021 season, which witnessed the best version yet of Verstappen. Verstappen went in level on points with Lewis Hamilton heading into the season finale at Abu Dhabi. Both drivers were on 369.5 points and after a high-tension battle for the championship, the Dutchman ousted his rival, to clinch his first-ever title in F1.

Max Verstappen upped the ante the following season, claiming his 2nd Drivers' Championship in 2022 with 454 points. The 2023 season was Verstappen's most dominant as he clinched a hattrick of Drivers' titles with a record 86.35 win percentage. He won a total of 19 out of the 22 races in the 2023 season.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Max Verstappen: New racing number</h2>
Having won the world championship title in 2021, Verstappen earned the privilege of replacing his previous number, 33, with 1. The rulebook of F1 suggests that any driver that manages to win a title would have the option of sporting #1 over the succeeding season. However, if the driver fails to defend their title that year, they would have to revert to their usual number in the following season.

One might wonder why there hasn't been a driver sporting this prestigious number over all these years. Well, since the hybrid era, only two drivers, apart from Verstappen, have won titles; Hamilton and Rosberg. While the latter retired right after his championship-winning year, denying himself of embracing the king's treatment, Hamilton chose to run with his favorite number, 44, instead.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Max Verstappen: Net Worth 2024</h2>
Naturally, the kind of personality Verstappen is, he always finds himself in the news good or bad. But at the end of the day, Verstappen delivers on the track and Red Bull doesn't want to lose their star driver. The Dutchman is contracted to Red Bull until the end of 2028.

Max Verstappen

Max Verstappen 2024: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements Max Verstappen was a child prodigy who was roped in by Red Bull F1 at a very young age. He moved into F1 directly from F3 at the age of 17 during the 2015 Australian Grand Prix, partneringÂ Carlos Sainz Jr in Toro Rosso. For the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix, he was promoted to Red Bull, a race that he won. There was a lot of hype around his entry into Formula 1, and it was completely justified. He has always been classified as the next big thing in Formula 1, and many anticipate him to do what Lewis Hamilton is doing in the current F1 era. Such is his might and skill, that former F1 drivers, Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso,Â labeledÂ him as one of the best F1 drivers on the grid. But his skill also comes with him being a hot head oftenÂ known to say controversial statements or target teams/players directly. Formula One F1 &#8211; Singapore Grand Prix &#8211; Marina Bay Street Circuit, Singapore &#8211; September 17, 2023 Red Bull&#8217;s Max Verstappen during the drivers parade before the race REUTERS/Andy Chua Max Verstappen: Personal life Max Verstappen&#8217;s father &#8211; Jos Verstappen was an F1 driver who currently manages him. Jos&#8217; F1 career wasn&#8217;t quite as successful as his son&#8217;s. His mother&#8217;s name is Sophie Kumpen. Verstappen&#8217;s sister, Victoria, enjoys a healthy following on social media and has her own fashion line. Read More:Â Who Is Max Verstappen&#8217;s Father Jos? The Man Behind One of F1&#8217;s Greatest Superstars Verstappen was in a relationship with Dilara Sanlik.Â As of 2024, Max Verstappen is in a relationship with Kelly Piquet. The latter even showed up at the 2021 Monaco Grand Prix, where Verstappen won his second F1 race of the season. She was standing amongst the Red Bull crew during the podium celebrations. Following the nerve-wracking 2021 season, Verstappen and Piquet spent their Christmas and New Year with the Piquet family in Brazil. Kelly is the daughter of 3-time champion Nelson Piquet. Read More:Â Who is Max Verstappen&#8217;s Girlfriend? Kelly Piquet? Max Verstappen&#8217;s Stats and On-track Achievements Considering the age at which he joined Formula 1, he has multiple records to his name. He is the youngest driver to start a race, score points, be a race leader, step on the podium, and set the fastest lap. Sadly, the one record that eluded him was the Youngest pole sitter, a record that still belongs to Sebastian Vettel. With his race win at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix, he also became the youngest driver to win a Grand Prix. 2019 initially remained one of his best seasons in F1. He had to take a leadership role in the team with Daniel Ricciardo departing to Renault. Max Verstappen took 3 race victories and 2 pole positions to bring glory to both Red Bull and an ailing Honda. Formula One F1 &#8211; Qatar Grand Prix &#8211; Lusail International Circuit, Lusail, Qatar &#8211; October 7, 2023 Red Bull&#8217;s Max Verstappen celebrates with his team after winning the championship REUTERS/Hamad I Mohammed However, then arrived the 2021 season, which witnessed the best version yet of Verstappen. Verstappen went in level on points with Lewis Hamilton heading into the season finale at Abu Dhabi. Both drivers were on 369.5 points and after a high-tension battle for the championship, the Dutchman ousted his rival, to clinch his first-ever title in F1. Max Verstappen upped the ante the following season, claiming his 2nd Drivers&#8217; Championship in 2022 with 454 points. The 2023 season was Verstappen&#8217;s most dominant as he clinched a hattrick of Drivers&#8217; titles with a record 86.35 win percentage. He won a total of 19 out of the 22 races in the 2023 season. Max Verstappen: New racing number Having won the world championship title in 2021, Verstappen earned the privilege of replacing his previous number, 33, with 1. The rulebook of F1 suggests that any driver that manages to win a title would have the option of sporting #1 over the succeeding season. However, if the driver fails to defend their title that year, they would have to revert to their usual number in the following season. One might wonder why there hasn&#8217;t been a driver sporting this prestigious number over all these years. Well, since the hybrid era, only two drivers, apart from Verstappen, have won titles; Hamilton and Rosberg. While the latter retired right after his championship-winning year, denying himself of embracing the king&#8217;s treatment, Hamilton chose to run with his favorite number, 44, instead. Max Verstappen: Net Worth 2024 Naturally, the kind of personality Verstappen is, he always finds himself in the news good or bad. But at the end of the day, Verstappen delivers on the track and Red Bull doesn&#8217;t want to lose their star driver. The Dutchman is contracted to Red Bull until the end of 2028. Read More:Â Max Verstappen Monaco House: How Much is it Worth &amp; Other Key Details? Despite his young age and relatively short career, his net worth stands at almostÂ $90 million. However, Verstappen&#8217;s net worth could shoot up, considering the substantial rise in pay from 2024 amidst the newly signed contract. The Dutchman will receive an on-track salary of a whopping $70M, including $25M in bonuses. However, as of now, Verstappen&#8217;s yearly salary stands at $45M.

He has an army of fans who call themselves the Orange Army and are present wearing Orange T-shirts for almost all European races. This popularity makes him very desirable among brands, thus making him one of the most marketable drivers on the grid. His main sponsors are Tag Heuer, Jumbo Supermarkets, Ziggo, Red Bull, G-Star Raw, and CarNext.com. Verstappen&#8217;s earnings through endorsements stand at $4 million annually. Max Verstappen: Foundations and Charity Work Like most F1 drivers, Verstappen has participated inÂ charity football events. He is also part of theÂ Charity StarsÂ andÂ raced in a Red Bull-sponsored charity event in 2017. In early 2020, VerstappenÂ donatedÂ an unspecified amount to a fundraiser as part of aid for Koalas affected by bushfires in Australia. Max Verstappen&#8217;s Car Collection Max Verstappen boasts of a private car collection worth $6.4million. His prized possession is the $2.7 million hypercar Valkyrie, which Red Bull-Aston Martin jointly developed. He also owns the road-legal version of the James Bond car in the film Spectre &#8211; DB11 worth $200,000. His garage houses a couple of Ferrari&#8217;s as well, which includes the 488 Pista worth $331,000 and the $1.2 million Monza SP2. Additionally, his collection includes the 2018 Vantage ($150,000) and a DBS Superleggera ($360,000). However, his first purchase was a $400,000 Renault R. S. 01. Apart from these beasts, the Dutchman owns a yellow Renault Clio which was gifted to him by his parents. How to contact Max Verstappen?

<h3><strong>Sebastian Vettel 2022: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</strong></h3>
Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel is a 4-time Formula One World Champion. He is among the most likable personalities on the grid. He made his Formula One debut in 2007 in a one-off appearance as a replacement for an injured <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/robert-kubica/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Robert Kubica</a>. The same year saw him join the ranks of the<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/toro-rosso/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Toro Rosso</a> team, effectively replacing Scott Speed. In 2008, he took his first victory, which still stands as the team's only race victory. In 2009, he graduated to Red Bull F1 and stayed with the team until the end of 2014, before moving to Ferrari. His Red Bull stint saw him scale four back-to-back championships between 2010 and 2013.

Back in his Red Bull days, Sebastian Vettel's helmet game was on another level. While the FIA has repealed its controversial helmet change rule, Vettel would turn up to Grand Prix events with some of the coolest lids on the grid.

Most recently, his iconic white helmet with German stripes is easily recognizable and has become a classic helmet design on the grid.

<h3><strong>Sebastian Vettel: On-track Achievements</strong></h3>
His 2008 race victory in Monza and further progress at an early age ensured that he has a lot of records to his name. Sebastian Vettel is the youngest driver to score a pole position, a race victory, a double (pole + race), and a triple (pole + race + fastest lap). His 13 race victories in 2013 and 15 pole positions in 2011, still stand as the highest race victories and pole positions in a season, respectively.

While he holds a long list of accolades in Formula 1, Sebastian Vettel is also one of the wittiest drivers on the grid. His perfectly timed quips and witty jabs during team radio messages and interviews have become a big hit among the fans.

<h3>Sebastian Vettel: Net Worth 2022</h3>
His contract with Ferrari in 2020 put his annual <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/sebastian-vettel/#4373508e53f2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">salary</a> to $36.3 million along with bonuses, making him one of the richest drivers on the F1 grid. The length of his contract ran till the end of 2020. He's driven for two very rich teams: Red Bull with their massive budget and Ferrari with their legacy, ensuring his lifetime earnings at <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/race-car-drivers/sebastian-vettel-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">$140 million</a>.

Further, he signed a contract with Aston Martin for the 2021 season. The fact that Aston Martin is a mid-field outfit forced Vettel in obliging to a massive pay-cut. The German is reportedly receiving a salary of $15M, without bonuses. Nevertheless, Vettel is still the 5th highest <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/brettknight/2021/07/22/formula-1-highest-paid-drivers-hamilton-verstappen/?sh=e868db011828" target="_blank" rel="noopener">paid</a> driver on the grid in 2021, just behind his predecessor, Sergio Perez. As of 2022, Vettel will receive a salary of $13M from Aston Martin.
<h3><strong>Sebastian Vettel: Ferrari journey and contract</strong></h3>
However, his Ferrari stint wasn't nearly as successful. Joining the team in early 2015, Vettel was the guiding light that Ferrari needed after a dismal 2014 season. One could argue that Vettel resurrected Ferrari in the turbo-hybrid era of Formula 1.

Despite getting off to a positive start, Sebastian's Ferrari journey was full of ups and downs. He endured a difficult season in 2016 - scoring no wins and driving a car that wasn't very competitive.

However, things changed in 2017. The SF70h was more than a match for the Mercedes W08 and for the first time in the turbo-hybrid era, Ferrari could challenge Mercedes for the Championship.

While Ferrari and Vettel made good progress in the first half of 2017, the quest to end Mercedes' domination fizzled in the latter half of the season. Mercedes made a big step up in car development. Furthermore, a series of reliability issues and driver mistakes effectively ended the Scuderia's hopes of Championship that year.

But the team went back to the drawing board of developed a monster of a car for the 2018 season. The SF71h seemed destined to put an end to Mercedes's winning streak, but a sequence of driver errors meant it was not to be.

[caption id="attachment_506721" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-506721" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210107180320/GettyImages-1180720765.jpg" alt="Sebastian Vettel in Scuderia Ferrari" width="1920" height="1280" /> SUZUKA, JAPAN - OCTOBER 13: Pole position qualifier Sebastian Vettel of Germany and Ferrari celebrates in parc ferme during qualifying for the F1 Grand Prix of Japan at Suzuka Circuit on October 13, 2019 in Suzuka, Japan.

Vettel came agonizingly close to clinching his first Championship with Ferrari in 2018, but his campaign fell apart towards the end of the season.

2019 was a difficult season for the German driver. Vettel had to put up with a younger, much faster teammate in Charles Leclerc while racing in a car that was uncompetitive and unsuited to his driving style. Scoring only a single win, Sebastian ended the season fifth in the Drivers' Championship.

The equation between Vettel and teammate <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/charles-leclerc" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Charles Leclerc</a> gave the team enough trouble.

The 2020 season was put on hold due to COVID-19 but Vettel dropped a bombshell regarding his future at Ferrari. Sebastian Vettel officially announced that he and Ferrari would not be renewing their contract for 2021 and beyond. At the end of the  2020 season, Vettel and Ferrari parted ways.

Despite the failed quest with Ferrari, Vettel can look back at his time with the Reds with pride. The German currently sits third in the list of all-time wins for the Scuderia. Only behind F1 legends - Michael Schumacher and Niki Lauda. So far, Vettel has scored 57 Pole Positions and clinched 53 wins in his F1 career.

While it looked like Vettel might announce his retirement following the 2020 season, what arrived was rather a surprising announcement from the returning F1 team, Aston Martin. The British outfit announced Vettel as a part of their driver's line-up for 2021 replacing Sergio Perez.

In September 2021, Aston Martin affirmed that Vettel's contract had the option of extending his presence by another year. Hence, the team decided to stick with the German at least until the end of 2022.
<h3>Best Moments of Sebastian Vettel</h3>
<h4><strong>Foundations and Charity Work</strong></h4>
Sebastian Vettel supports two main charities, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIMfiaqeHJg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Champions for Charity</a> and <a href="https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&amp;sl=de&amp;u=https://www.unitedcharity.de/Prominente/Sebastian-Vettel&amp;prev=search&amp;pto=aue" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">United Charity</a>. His support is mainly focused on children's welfare and also sports.

Sebastian Vettel often <a href="https://www.espn.in/f1/story/_/id/26836139/ferrari-drivers-sebastian-vettel-charles-leclerc-team-cristiano-ronaldo-charity-football-match" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">competes</a> in charity football matches to raise money for various charitable organizations.

Vettel has donated to the 'Grace P Kelly Association' - a German organization that aids children affected by cancer.

In early 2019, Vettel teamed up with teammates Charles Leclerc and star footballer Cristiano Ronaldo in a charity football match for the Piedmontese Foundation for Cancer Research and for the Telethon Foundation.

Since 2020, Vettel has been working with BioBienenApfel, a company striving to raise awareness on the importance of bees' existence in the eco-system. Ahead of the Austrian GP 2021, Vettel, along with a group of kids, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-heartwarming-sebastian-vettel-comes-to-rescue-of-environment-with-bee-hotel-ahead-of-austrian-gp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">built a hotel for bees</a> in the middle of an open field in Spielberg.

Later following the British Grand Prix, Vettel collected garbage from the stands left behind by the spectators. He further carried the waste to a waste incineration plant to raise awareness on recycling waste.

<h3>Sebastian Vettel: Personal life</h3>
Sebastian Vettel prefers keeping his personal life away from all the glitz and glamor of F1. Nobody knows a lot about his private life, but there are a few details.

The 33-year-old <a href="https://www.espn.in/f1/story/_/id/27015385/french-grand-prix-diary-kimi-wears-headphones-to-talk-people" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">married</a> his childhood friend Hanna Prater in 2019. He has 3 kids - <a href="https://www.welt.de/sport/formel1/article122767788/Sebastian-Vettel-wird-zum-ersten-Mal-Vater.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Emilie</a>, Mathilda, and a son <a href="https://f1i.com/news/362905-vettel-excused-from-media-day-following-birth-of-third-child.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">born</a> in November 2019.

The 4-time World Champion lives in a medieval-style farmhouse in Thurgau, Switzerland. Vettel isn't one to splurge on flashy mansions, but his <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/sebastian-vettel-everything-there-is-to-know-about-his-luxurious-house/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">house</a> is impressive nonetheless!

While he races some of the fastest cars on track, he prefers two wheels off the track. The German driver has an enviable vintage motorcycle collection and often arrives at circuits on one of his cool bikes. However, he also owns a very cool car collection which, funnily enough, includes a Mercedes.

Sebastian Vettel prefers staying away from the limelight and likes keeping his personal life, well, personal!

While the FIA has repealed its controversial helmet change rule, Vettel would turn up to Grand Prix events with some of the coolest lids on the grid. Most recently, his iconic white helmet with German stripes is easily recognizable and has become a classic helmet design on the grid.

Sebastian Vettel: Net Worth 2022 His contract with Ferrari in 2020 put his annual salary to $36.3 million along with bonuses, making him one of the richest drivers on the F1 grid. The length of his contract ran till the end of 2020. He&#8217;s driven for two very rich teams: Red Bull with their massive budget and Ferrari with their legacy, ensuring his lifetime earnings at $140 million. Further, he signed a contract with Aston Martin for the 2021 season. The fact that Aston Martin is a mid-field outfit forced Vettel in obliging to a massive pay-cut. The German is reportedly receiving a salary of $15M, without bonuses. Nevertheless, Vettel is still the 5th highest paid driver on the grid in 2021, just behind his predecessor, Sergio Perez. As of 2022, Vettel will receive a salary of $13M from Aston Martin. Sebastian Vettel: Ferrari journey and contract However, his Ferrari stint wasn&#8217;t nearly as successful. Joining the team in early 2015, Vettel was the guiding light that Ferrari needed after a dismal 2014 season. One could argue that Vettel resurrected Ferrari in the turbo-hybrid era of Formula 1. Despite getting off to a positive start, Sebastian&#8217;s Ferrari journey was full of ups and downs. He endured a difficult season in 2016 &#8211; scoring no wins and driving a car that wasn&#8217;t very competitive. However, things changed in 2017. The SF70h was more than a match for the Mercedes W08 and for the first time in the turbo-hybrid era, Ferrari could challenge Mercedes for the Championship. While Ferrari and Vettel made good progress in the first half of 2017, the quest to end Mercedes&#8217; domination fizzled in the latter half of the season. Mercedes made a big step up in car development. Furthermore, a series of reliability issues and driver mistakes effectively ended the Scuderia&#8217;s hopes of Championship that year. But the team went back to the drawing board of developed a monster of a car for the 2018 season. The SF71h seemed destined to put an end to Mercedes&#8217;s winning streak, but a sequence of driver errors meant it was not to be.

(Photo by Charles Coates/Getty Images) Vettel came agonizingly close to clinching his first Championship with Ferrari in 2018, but his campaign fell apart towards the end of the season. 2019 was a difficult season for the German driver. Vettel had to put up with a younger, much faster teammate in Charles Leclerc while racing in a car that was uncompetitive and unsuited to his driving style. Scoring only a single win, Sebastian ended the season fifth in the Drivers&#8217; Championship. The equation between Vettel and teammate Charles Leclerc gave the team enough trouble. The 2020 season was put on hold due to COVID-19 but Vettel dropped a bombshell regarding his future at Ferrari. Sebastian Vettel officially announced that he and Ferrari would not be renewing their contract for 2021 and beyond. At the end of the  2020 season, Vettel and Ferrari parted ways. Despite the failed quest with Ferrari, Vettel can look back at his time with the Reds with pride. The German currently sits third in the list of all-time wins for the Scuderia. Only behind F1 legends &#8211; Michael Schumacher and Niki Lauda. So far, Vettel has scored 57 Pole Positions and clinched 53 wins in his F1 career. While it looked like Vettel might announce his retirement following the 2020 season, what arrived was rather a surprising announcement from the returning F1 team, Aston Martin. The British outfit announced Vettel as a part of their driver&#8217;s line-up for 2021 replacing Sergio Perez. In September 2021, Aston Martin affirmed that Vettel&#8217;s contract had the option of extending his presence by another year. Hence, the team decided to stick with the German at least until the end of 2022.
