Formula One has been around for 69 years, starting from 1950. Now, the sport is heading into its 1000th F1 race, which is quite the landmark. To commemorate the occasion, a few Formula One driver were asked about their earliest memories. One of those drivers was 4-time world champion and Ferrari [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/ferrari/] driver Sebastian Vettel. The German driver made his debut back in 2007 for Toro Rosso [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/toro-rosso/]. 2007 was his first full-time season after a few cameos for BMW Sauber. Sebastian Vettel shot to fame in 2008 when he took a shock pole in Monza and went on to with the race, in a Toro Rosso. Now, he has come a long way and currently races for Ferrari, in his 12th season in Formula 1. Talking to Speedweek, he opened up on his top moments in F1’s 69-year history. Sebastian Vettel [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Sebastian-Vettel-brother-Fabian-Mercedes-Ferrari-1761581.jpg]Sebastian Vettel He admitted, “There are so many races to choose from. The first race I can remember is Ayrton Senna’s first victory. I think it was 1991 and he was really exhausted because he’d lost a few gears during the race. He couldn’t even lift the cup after the finish.” He confessed that his memory may not serve him well as he was only three years old at the time. Then, Sebastian Vettel spoke about compatriot and Formula 1 legend, Michael Schumacher [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-schumacher/]. He fondly reminisced the initial years of the now 7-time world champion. Vettel then cast his mind back to the 1995 German Grand Prix. Sebastian Vettel continued, “The Benetton years of Michael Schumacher were very special for me. Especially when he passed through the stadium section at Hockenheim and you could see all of the German flags.” Sebastian Vettel then revealed that that moment was what inspired him to start racing himself. 24 years down the line from that race in 1995, Sebastian Vettel is currently competing in the 2019 Formula One world championship [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Formula_One_World_Championship]. He will be racing in the 1000th ever Formula One race and be hoping to win on this landmark occasion.

<h2>Chinese Grand Prix - Winners, Qualifying, Circuits, Track</h2>
The Chinese Grand Prix has been a constant host of F1 races since 2004. It had earned itself the reputation for being the most expensive circuit until 2009, when the Abu Dhabi Circuit came into existence.

The Shanghai International Circuit, designed by the Tilke Company, ranks among the most adventurous and challenging circuits in the world. The pattern of the circuit is the first letter from 'Shanghai,' which translates to 'ascend'.

The concept of bringing Chinese soil to F1 racing ground started in the 1990s. The first track, the Zhuhai International Circuit, was not appropriate for staging a Grand Prix, as marked by the FIA. But the country’s government was determined to host the Chinese Grand Prix.

In 2004, they announced the Shanghai International Circuit to be the track for all upcoming races.

The COVID-19 situation has, however, affected the calendar which led to the cancellation of this season’s race. There is major planning underway to get back to the sport next season.

<h2>Circuit Details</h2>
The Circuit of Shanghai is famous for its layout, which makes the race extremely thrilling.

The track measures 5.451 kilometers and has 16 turns. The circuit provides 56 laps that are covered in the entire duration of the race, which covers 305.066 kilometers.

This circuit is much more complicated than the other F1 registered circuits that exist. The first four laps that form the "snails" are the most challenging part of the circuit.

The other laps are considerably less complicated, with proper tactics of racing. The racers are fond of lap 7 and 8, which have chicanes that allow smooth overtaking.

Lap 11 to 14 provides the next set of a complicated pattern that affects the pace of a racer. It includes sharp and testing chicanes and a lengthy right-hander that leads to extreme pressure on the racer to keep up with their proper performance.

The Shanghai International Circuit, which has achieved FIA Grade 1 promises to give an event packed with thrill and adventure, ensuring safety protocols don't take a backseat.

<strong>History</strong>

The Formula One World Championship first started back in 1950. The very first F1 champion was Italy's Guiseppe Farina who raced for Alfa Romeo.

The sport has had 33 different champions in its history and a few of them are multiple championship winners. Currently, the driver with the most championships is <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-schumacher/">Michael Schumacher</a> with 7 under his belt. However, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mercedes">Mercedes</a> driver <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lewis-hamilton/">Lewis Hamilton</a> will be eager to overhaul that. Hamilton currently holds 6 World Championships and stands on the cusp of equalling Michael Schumacher's record at the end of the season.

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.

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>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.
