Sebastian Vettel bid an emotional farewell to F1 at last weekend’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, with the German calling time on a career that saw him start 299 races and claim 57 pole positions, 53 wins and four world titles.
From his point-scoring debut with BMW Sauber in 2007 to that famous Monza victory for Toro Rosso a year later, and his run of championship success at Red Bull to winning in the scarlet red of Ferrari – there are plenty of standout moments.
But what does Vettel rank above all else from his 15 years competing at the top level? In a recent appearance on F1's Beyond The Grid podcast, he opened up to host Tom Clarkson with a moving look back at his journey from F1 debutant to F1 dominance.
