<h2>Austrian Grand Prix - Winners, Qualifying, Circuits, Track</h2>
The Austrian Grand Prix is a yearly Formula One race. An FIA authorized racing event, the first F1 race in Austria was held in 1964. Formula One got back to Austria in 1970–1987 and 1997–2003. Austria once again started hosting the races in 2014.

2020 F1 season was hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. There were numerous changes in the 2020 schedule, with multiple Grand Prix weekends being cancelled. As a result, Austria facilitated two consecutive Formula One races at the Red Bull Ring in 2021 - the Styrian Grand Prix and Austrian Grand Prix. Despite the fact that the Styrian GP was a one-off race, F1 saved it for the 2021 schedule too.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Daniel Ricciardo 2024: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
Daniel Ricciardo is an Australian racing driver currently driving for the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls F1 Team. He made his Formula 1 debut at the British GP in 2011, driving for Hispania Racing. His first F1 win came in the 2014 season at the Canadian GP in his debut season for Red Bull Racing. Ricciardo has accumulated 8 race wins over the course of his career, with the 2018 Monaco GP win being the feather in his cap.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Daniel Ricciardo's Career Timeline</h2>
One of the best overtakers in the game, Daniel Ricciardo, made his Formula 1 debut in 2011 with HRT. A year later, he moved to <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/toro-rosso/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Toro Rosso</a> alongside Jean-Eric Vergne. After two years with the Faenza-based team, he graduated to Red Bull and partnered withÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Sebastian Vettel</a>. He remained with the team after Vettel's departure in 2015, this time teaming up withÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniil-kvyat/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Daniil Kvyat</a>. The two raced together until mid-2016 when Kvyat was demoted to Toro Rosso and Max Verstappen took his place.

In mid-2018, Daniel Ricciardo announced his departure from Red Bull after an association of five seasons. Ricciardo joined Renault in 2019, partnering with Nico Hulkenberg. However, it came as a shock when Ricciardo affirmed that he wouldn't be extending his contract with the French outfit.

Many believed Ricciardo would eventually join Ferrari - given his hunger and passion to win the world championship, not to mention his Italian heritage. Sadly, it never came to pass. The Australian was in talks with Ferrari, but the negotiations never amounted to anything serious. He was beaten to a seat at the Scuderia by McLaren's Carlos Sainz.

After a largely unsuccessful stint with Renault, The Honey Badger announced his switch to McLaren for the 2021 season. Ricciardo teamed up with Lando Norris over his first stint. Despite largely trailing the Briton, Ricciardo managed to break the shackles at the Italian Grand Prix by claiming his first F1 victory since the 2018 Monaco Grand Prix and the first for McLaren since the 2012 Brazilian GP.

After a string of disappointing results during the 2022 season, McLaren terminated his contract a year in advance and, soon later after the conclusion of the Japanese GP qualifying, he announced his departure from the F1 grid for the 2023 season. He went on to take up the role of the Red Bull 3rd driver. However, following the release of Nyck de Vries from his AlphaTauri seat, Ricciardo was announced as his replacement, and the Hungarian GP marked his return to AlphaTauri and Formula 1.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Daniel Ricciardo's Personal Life</h2>
For someone who's quite open and active across social media, Ricciardo is quite reserved about his personal life. The Australian prefers to keep his family and relationships away from the limelight. Daniel's father is Giuseppe â€œJoeâ€ Ricciardo and his mother is Grace Ricciardo. His father was born in Ficarra, Italy, and moved to Australia aged 7. His mother is Australian-born, however, she is of Italian descent as well. Daniel's sister's name is Michelle. Daniel's father Giuseppe is a former driver and has raced at theÂ Barbagallo Raceway in Western Australia.

There were rumors of Ricciardo dating an Australian model Jessica Gomes in 2018, but the Honey Badger <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-6754573/Daniel-Ricciardo-29-denies-dating-Jessica-Gomes-34-admits-rumours-positive.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denied</a> the same. Since 2022, Daniel Ricciardo has been in a <a href="https://people.com/who-is-heidi-berger-daniel-ricciardo-8349982" target="_blank" rel="noopener">relationship with Heidi Berger</a>. Heidi is the daughter of former Austrian F1 driver Gerhard Berger and her mother is former Portuguese model Ana Corvo. Gerhard has driven for F1 teams such as Ferrari, McLaren, and Benetton. Heidi is an actress and has starred in the soap opera <em>A Ãšnica Mulher</em>.

Apart from F1, Ricciardo follows the NFL, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-nlf-afc-news-alphatauri-news-how-did-daniel-ricciardo-and-josh-allen-become-friends-what-nfl-team-does-the-f1-star-support/">Buffalo Bills is his favorite team</a>. He owns a Bills jersey and is great friends with Josh Allen. Ricciardo also has an impressive tattoo collection, which is pretty ironic, considering his fear of needles.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Daniel Ricciardo: Stats and on-trackÂ </strong><b>Achievements</b></h2>
A ninth-placed finish saw Ricciardo score his first set of points in Australia in 2012. His first podium came at the Spanish GP in 2014 when he finished third. He followed it up with another third-place finish in Monaco. The Perth native snatched his maiden win at the 2014 Canadian Grand Prix. Ricciardo went on to win two more races that year, in Hungary and Belgium.

While Ricciardo wowed fans with his incredible racecraft, he also has a unique taste in helmets. Daniel Ricciardo's 2019 lid, with the wordsÂ <em>"Stop Being Them"</em> caught everyone's attention and instantly became a fan favorite. His 2020 helmet is an evolution of the 2019 lid, with some crazy color combinations that truly stand out. It was a similar crazy design in 2021 as well, with the theme being 'All good, all ways'.

During the rest of his career, he took five more wins. They were in Malaysia 2016, Azerbaijan 2017, China 2018, Monaco 2018, and the latest victory arrived at Monza 2021. His highest position in the Drivers' Championship has been third in 2014 and 2016.

In a career spanning nearly a decade, Ricciardo has competed in 214 Grand Prix weekends, winning eight races and clinching 32 podiums. The Australian has scored 1326 points in his F1 career till the end of the 2023 season.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Daniel Ricciardo: Net Worth</h2>
According toÂ <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/daniel-ricciardo/?sh=15ac52677fe2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a>, Ricciardo had an annual salary of $27 million and earned an additional $2 million through endorsements as of 2020. He has a net worth of <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/race-car-drivers/daniel-ricciardo-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$50 million</a>.

In August 2018, Daniel Ricciardo signed a two-year contract with Renault that pays him an astonishingÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6025373/After-new-31M-deal-Renault-does-make-Daniel-Ricciardo-Australias-richest-sports-star.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$35 million</a> per year. Under his previous contract with Red Bull, he was making $6 million per year. In 2021, with McLaren, Ricciardo became the 7th highest-earning F1 driver on the grid, with a salary of $17 million per year. However, over the 2021 season, Ricciardo has <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.gq.com.au/fitness/sport/f1-driver-salaries-2022/image-gallery/959853345554bc750aa6609f94994634?pos=7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a>Â taken a step back with a salary of $15 million.

In November 2018, Daniel spentÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7642301/Daniel-Ricciardos-lavish-13million-Hollywood-mansion.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$13 million</a>Â to buy a mansion in Beverly Hills.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Daniel Ricciardo's Car Collection</h2>
Daniel Ricciardo boasts of a unique collection of cars. Being one of the best-paid drivers on the grid, Ricciardo has splurged the cash on exquisite sports cars. He owns a McLaren 720s which was a gift to himself after his win at the Italian GP in 2021. The McLaren 720s comes with a price tag of $299,000. The Honey Badger's garage also houses a Porsche 918 Spyder worth $845,000. His 599 horsepower-producing Porsche has a white metallic finish to it. Additionally, the Australian owns a 2016 Aston Martin Vantage worth $300,000 and has a 5.2 liter AE31 twin-turbocharged V12 engine. Another Aston and Ricciardo's prized possession is a $2.6 million Aston Martin Valkyrie which is powered by a 6.5 liter V12 and produces an astonishing 1100 hp. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds. However, the most special car for Riccardo is his $7,540 Toyota Hilux which was gifted to him by his parents in 2006.

Daniel Ricciardo

Daniel Ricciardo 2024: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements Daniel Ricciardo is an Australian racing driver currently driving for the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls F1 Team. He made his Formula 1 debut at the British GP in 2011, driving for Hispania Racing. His first F1 win came in the 2014 season at the Canadian GP in his debut season for Red Bull Racing. Ricciardo has accumulated 8 race wins over the course of his career, with the 2018 Monaco GP win being the feather in his cap. Formula One F1 &#8211; United States Grand Prix &#8211; Circuit of the Americas, Austin, Texas, U.S. &#8211; October 22, 2023 AlphaTauri&#8217;s Daniel Ricciardo is pictured wearing a cowboy hat ahead of the race REUTERS/Brian Snyder Daniel Ricciardo&#8217;s Career Timeline One of the best overtakers in the game, Daniel Ricciardo, made his Formula 1 debut in 2011 with HRT. A year later, he moved to Toro Rosso alongside Jean-Eric Vergne. After two years with the Faenza-based team, he graduated to Red Bull and partnered withÂ Sebastian Vettel. He remained with the team after Vettel&#8217;s departure in 2015, this time teaming up withÂ Daniil Kvyat. The two raced together until mid-2016 when Kvyat was demoted to Toro Rosso and Max Verstappen took his place. In mid-2018, Daniel Ricciardo announced his departure from Red Bull after an association of five seasons. Ricciardo joined Renault in 2019, partnering with Nico Hulkenberg. However, it came as a shock when Ricciardo affirmed that he wouldn&#8217;t be extending his contract with the French outfit. Many believed Ricciardo would eventually join Ferrari &#8211; given his hunger and passion to win the world championship, not to mention his Italian heritage. Sadly, it never came to pass. The Australian was in talks with Ferrari, but the negotiations never amounted to anything serious. He was beaten to a seat at the Scuderia by McLaren&#8217;s Carlos Sainz. READ MORE &#8211;Â The Long List of Cars Owned and Driven by Daniel Ricciardo After a largely unsuccessful stint with Renault, The Honey Badger announced his switch to McLaren for the 2021 season. Ricciardo teamed up with Lando Norris over his first stint. Despite largely trailing the Briton, Ricciardo managed to break the shackles at the Italian Grand Prix by claiming his first F1 victory since the 2018 Monaco Grand Prix and the first for McLaren since the 2012 Brazilian GP. After a string of disappointing results during the 2022 season, McLaren terminated his contract a year in advance and, soon later after the conclusion of the Japanese GP qualifying, he announced his departure from the F1 grid for the 2023 season. He went on to take up the role of the Red Bull 3rd driver. However, following the release of Nyck de Vries from his AlphaTauri seat, Ricciardo was announced as his replacement, and the Hungarian GP marked his return to AlphaTauri and Formula 1. Daniel Ricciardo&#8217;s Personal Life For someone who&#8217;s quite open and active across social media, Ricciardo is quite reserved about his personal life. The Australian prefers to keep his family and relationships away from the limelight. Daniel&#8217;s father is Giuseppe â€œJoeâ€ Ricciardo and his mother is Grace Ricciardo. His father was born in Ficarra, Italy, and moved to Australia aged 7. His mother is Australian-born, however, she is of Italian descent as well. Daniel&#8217;s sister&#8217;s name is Michelle. Daniel&#8217;s father Giuseppe is a former driver and has raced at theÂ Barbagallo Raceway in Western Australia. There were rumors of Ricciardo dating an Australian model Jessica Gomes in 2018, but the Honey Badger denied the same. Since 2022, Daniel Ricciardo has been in a relationship with Heidi Berger. Heidi is the daughter of former Austrian F1 driver Gerhard Berger and her mother is former Portuguese model Ana Corvo. Gerhard has driven for F1 teams such as Ferrari, McLaren, and Benetton. Heidi is an actress and has starred in the soap opera A Ãšnica Mulher. READ MORE-How Expensive is Daniel Ricciardo&#8217;s Mansion in Los Angeles? Apart from F1, Ricciardo follows the NFL, and Buffalo Bills is his favorite team. He owns a Bills jersey and is great friends with Josh Allen. Ricciardo also has an impressive tattoo collection, which is pretty ironic, considering his fear of needles. READ MORE-Renault Driver Daniel Ricciardo Opens Up on His Tattoo Daniel Ricciardo: Stats and on-trackÂ Achievements A ninth-placed finish saw Ricciardo score his first set of points in Australia in 2012. His first podium came at the Spanish GP in 2014 when he finished third. He followed it up with another third-place finish in Monaco. The Perth native snatched his maiden win at the 2014 Canadian Grand Prix. Ricciardo went on to win two more races that year, in Hungary and Belgium. While Ricciardo wowed fans with his incredible racecraft, he also has a unique taste in helmets. Daniel Ricciardo&#8217;s 2019 lid, with the wordsÂ &#8220;Stop Being Them&#8221; caught everyone&#8217;s attention and instantly became a fan favorite. His 2020 helmet is an evolution of the 2019 lid, with some crazy color combinations that truly stand out. It was a similar crazy design in 2021 as well, with the theme being &#8216;All good, all ways&#8217;.

(Photo by Clive Mason &#8211; Formula 1/Formula 1 via Getty Images) During the rest of his career, he took five more wins. They were in Malaysia 2016, Azerbaijan 2017, China 2018, Monaco 2018, and the latest victory arrived at Monza 2021. His highest position in the Drivers&#8217; Championship has been third in 2014 and 2016. In a career spanning nearly a decade, Ricciardo has competed in 214 Grand Prix weekends, winning eight races and clinching 32 podiums. The Australian has scored 1326 points in his F1 career till the end of the 2023 season. Daniel Ricciardo: Net Worth According toÂ reports, Ricciardo had an annual salary of $27 million and earned an additional $2 million through endorsements as of 2020. He has a net worth of $50 million. In August 2018, Daniel Ricciardo signed a two-year contract with Renault that pays him an astonishingÂ $35 million per year. Under his previous contract with Red Bull, he was making $6 million per year. In 2021, with McLaren, Ricciardo became the 7th highest-earning F1 driver on the grid, with a salary of $17 million per year. However, over the 2021 season, Ricciardo has reportedlyÂ taken a step back with a salary of $15 million. In November 2018, Daniel spentÂ $13 millionÂ to buy a mansion in Beverly Hills. Daniel Ricciardo&#8217;s Car Collection Daniel Ricciardo boasts of a unique collection of cars. Being one of the best-paid drivers on the grid, Ricciardo has splurged the cash on exquisite sports cars. He owns a McLaren 720s which was a gift to himself after his win at the Italian GP in 2021. The McLaren 720s comes with a price tag of $299,000. The Honey Badger&#8217;s garage also houses a Porsche 918 Spyder worth $845,000. His 599 horsepower-producing Porsche has a white metallic finish to it. Additionally, the Australian owns a 2016 Aston Martin Vantage worth $300,000 and has a 5.2 liter AE31 twin-turbocharged V12 engine. Another Aston and Ricciardo&#8217;s prized possession is a $2.6 million Aston Martin Valkyrie which is powered by a 6.5 liter V12 and produces an astonishing 1100 hp. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds. However, the most special car for Riccardo is his $7,540 Toyota Hilux which was gifted to him by his parents in 2006. Daniel Ricciardo: Endorsements The Australian driver has beenÂ sponsored by the likes of Go Pro, Blue Coast, Puma, Amazon, and more. Ricciardo has also been sponsored by carsales.com, a website that is primarily used for vehicle classifieds. Recently, Ricciardo extended his contract with car sales for two more years. Since 2017, Ricciardo has been teaming up with the premium hat company Melin to release a line of hats resulting from a collaboration between Daniel and Melin. Ricciardo has partnerships across various fields, such as gaming, telecommunications, cryptocurrency, music, and wine. Brands he has partnered with include EA Sports, Optus, crypto exchange OKX, Beats, and St. Hugo vinery. Daniel Ricciardo: Foundation and Charity Work Ricciardo is an ambassador for the Red Bull-backedÂ Wings for Life Foundation. He evenÂ auctioned off his Aston Martin V8 Vantage for charity. The proceeds went to the Racing for MNDi Foundation. Racing for MNDi Foundation funds research into the inherited form of Motor Neurone Disease (MND). Following the horrific bushfires that left Australia reeling, Daniel RicciardoÂ donatedÂ an unspecified amount to the Australian Red Cross and WIRES wildlife rescue.

<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 2022: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements Ferrari&#8217;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 Robert Kubica. The same year saw him join the ranks of the Toro Rosso team, effectively replacing Scott Speed. In 2008, he took his first victory, which still stands as the team&#8217;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&#8217;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.

(Photo by Mark Thompson/Getty Images) Sebastian Vettel: On-track Achievements 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. READ MORE-What are the Best Quotes of Sebastian Vettel? 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. Best Moments of Sebastian Vettel Foundations and Charity Work Sebastian Vettel supports two main charities, Champions for Charity and United Charity. His support is mainly focused on children&#8217;s welfare and also sports. Sebastian Vettel often competes in charity football matches to raise money for various charitable organizations. Vettel has donated to the &#8216;Grace P Kelly Association&#8217; &#8211; 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&#8217; existence in the eco-system. Ahead of the Austrian GP 2021, Vettel, along with a group of kids, built a hotel for bees 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.
