To this day, Sebastian Vettel’s 4 consecutive world title run remains Red Bull’s most dominant era. The best season for the German was in 2013 when he equaled Michael Schumacher’s record for most race wins in a season (13). Vettel also set the record for most consecutive wins in a season (9) that year.
Sebastian Vettel goes out partying with Christian Horner and Max Verstappen
Max Verstappen got the better of Sebastian Vettel’s joint record with Michael Schumacher for most race wins in a season yesterday. The Dutchman finished the season with 15 wins. He, however, could not break Seb’s most consecutive race wins record. The two drivers remain the only two in Red Bull’s history to win titles for them. Needless to say, the two are their golden boys.
Red Bull boss Christian Horner shared a photo partying post-race with Seb and Max on his Instagram. The caption read: 73 wins and 6 Drivers World Championships between these two @sebastianvettel @maxverstappen1 @redbullracing #dankeseb.

Do you think Seb will be back in Formula 1 in some other capacity? Will he dedicate his time more to the social and environmental issues that are close to his heart? Or will he stay away from public life just as Kimi Raikkonen did post-retirement?
