Sebastian Vettel has had enough of the Formula1 rigmarole. Announcing his retirement at the end of the season, the four-time World Champion and Aston Martin driver will bring an illustrious career to a close. ,With 290 races and 53 wins under his belt, the German was a heavy hitter across circuits in the early 2010s. He has steadily faded into the middle rungs since only occasionally displaying glimpses of his virtuoso talents. Enjoying his best years in the dominant Red Bull, the 35-year-old won four Championships on the bounce. ,His switch to Ferrari didn't go to plan, as the Italian constructors struggled against the pacier Mercedes and Red Bulls. Irrespective, old Seb's star burns bright in the paddock. But with his best years now a distant memory, it'd be nice to jog our memory with five readymade classics courtesy of the Heppenheim hurtler. ,Also Read: Sebastian Vettel retirement: Aston Martin F1 Team sends warm farewell message to driver,#5. Malaysian GP, 2015,Vettel's finest moment in Scuderia Red had the motorsports world buzzing about Ferrari's return. It would prove to be a false dawn, but -in isolation- it had all the makings of a Seb show. Behind Lewis Hamilton on the grid, the crew executed the race to the T. Running on better tyres, Vettel made two pit stops to Mercedes' three, helping him ease into the lead. Vettel even passed Hamilton on track, with the Briton a lap behind him. It was a moment of pure dominance, albeit short-lived. ,#4. Brazilian GP, 2012,Every great champion leaves behind moments of peak brilliance. Ayrton Senna's wet-weather mastery in Portugal immediately comes to mind. Fernando Alonso shielding the lead from Michael Schumacher at Imola is another. But I digress. At Interlagos, with the 2012 Championship on the line, Vettel began cautiously, falling behind the pack. ,It would get worse before it got better. Bruno Senna's Williams shaved against his car, damaging its rear. With the car pointing the wrong way, the German had every right to feel resigned. Instead, he bit back like a rabid dog. On dry tyres in lashing rain, Vettel defied logic to work his way back to sixth, pipping Alonso to the title by three points. ,#3. Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, 2010,Going into the season finale- the night race at Yas Marina- the German trailed Ferrari's Alonso by 15 points. Red Bull teammate Mark Webber- eight points behind Alonso- had a closer sniff of the title. Hamilton was also in the fray, but he was the distant contender. Vettel starting off in pole position, drove calmly to win easy. Alonso finished ahead of Webber, but behind Renault's Vitaly Petrov, at seventh place, handing the German his first title. The Spaniard was furious with the Russian, gesturing toward him after the race. ,#2. Singapore Grand Prix, 2013,It was the pinnacle of the Vettel years. His dominance was such, that suspicions of foul play were afloat in the paddock. But Vettel continued unflustered. In Singapore, under lights, he zipped around the street circuit as a man possessed. A brief duel with Nico Rosberg later, he had a 22-second lead after 10 laps. First to the chequered flag without a hitch, he looked and felt invincible. ,Also Read: Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull: F1 driver's partnership timeline,#1. Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, 2012,Better remembered for Kimi Raikkonen's famous 'leave me alone' putdown, Vettel put in a performance for the ages. Starting from the pit lane (effectively bottom placed), Vettel carved through the pack to finish third, behind Alonso. With the Spaniard breathing into his Championship lead, the German's mishaps in qualifying and practice had left him vulnerable. ,But on race day, however, he proved his all-round qualities, scything through the pack, one irresistible overtake at a time. If there were doubts of his derring-do, this singular showing of wheel-to-wheel brilliance was the perfect riposte from the German.

The 2022 British Grand Prix at Silverstone was one of the most entertaining races in recent times as the thrilling action continued unabatedly from start to finish. ,Also read: F1: Winners, losers (and Max Verstappen) from the 2022 British Grand Prix,One of the top stories of the race was a heartwarming one- Mick Schumacher, the son of Michael Schumacher who is widely considered the GOAT (greatest of all time) of Formula 1, won the first points of his Formula 1 career, coming home in 8th position. He had enjoyed an impressive race throughout. His first big moment came when he overtook the equally impressive Latifi- who had earlier made his first Q3 appearance in qualifying on Saturday. He then went on to overtake senior teammate Kevin Magnussen in decisive fashion twice- before and after the safety car, to wrestle his way to P9. Next up was his fellow countryman, friend, and mentor Sebastian Vettel who could only watch as Schumacher made short work of him as well, taking P8. ,This set up an intriguing finale as Schumacher next had current World Champion Max Verstappen on his radar. Verstappen had been driving an ailing car that had been damaged by debris earlier in the race and was thus soldiering his way to the finish. ,Also read: F1: A year after causing horror crash, Lewis Hamilton aims dig at Max Verstappen,Schumacher went out all guns blazing trying to make the flying Dutchman his next scalp, and an enthralling battle ensued between the two young racers. It was a frantic final flourish, which Verstappen managed to shade, barely, and the two came home at P7 and P8. ,This Verstappen-Schumacher battle provided a strong dose of deja-vu, as older F1 fans reminisced the years when the fathers of these two racers- all-time great Michael Schumacher and Dutchman Jos Verstappen, raced in Formula 1 together in the mid-90s as well. ,Also read: Why fans at British GP booed Max Verstappen,And to add icing to this heartwarming cake, an old video of Schumacher Sr. and Verstappen Sr. has surfaced on Twitter where the two discuss their sons- who were children then. In this video that will bring a smile to any F1 fan's face, they talk up the prospective future careers of their sons, joking about pushing their sons to play golf (a somewhat less dangerous sport!), rather than race in Formula 1! ,You can watch the video here:,Clearly, the sons didn’t pay much heed to their dad’s ideas, as they’ve now grown up to rightfully stand among the best racers in the world themselves, and one of them is even the current World Champion now! ,Jos Verstappen is a regular at the paddock supporting his son Max, and it is all but certain that Michael Schumacher would have greatly enjoyed and toasted to his son’s maiden points finish in F1 too. We wish Michael the best of health.

Schumacher

Miami, FL, USA

Ferrari stormed to the front of the grid for the inaugural Miami Grand Prix as Formula One championship leader Charles Leclerc and teammate Carlos Sainz Jr. locked up the front row in Saturday qualifying. ,It's the first time Ferrari will lead the field to green in the United States since Michael Schumacher won the pole at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2006. It's the first front row this season for Sainz, who has been outqualified by Leclerc in all five sessions. Also read: Watches, jewelry banned from Miami Grand Prix, F1 announces $265,000 fine for offenders,Leclerc has won three poles this year headed into Sunday, the first F1 race at the purpose-built circuit around Hard Rock Stadium. The race marks the first of two this year in the U.S. — which has not hosted two F1 races in the same year since 1984. ,Leclerc turned to the roaring crowd and waved while being interviewed by Danica Patrick, the retired IndyCar and NASCAR driver. ,“The fans are crazy. It's incredible to be here in the U.S. and see how much the support has grown over the last few years,” Leclerc said. “I've seen so many people in the grandstands. It definitely motivates us.” ,Reigning world champion Max Verstappen led the final qualifying segment until the Dutchman made a rare error and both Ferrari's surged ahead of him in the final seconds. He'll start third on Sunday; Leclerc and Verstappen have split the first four races, two wins apiece. ,“It's quite slippery outside of the normal racing line, but we'll see. A lot of things can happen,” Verstappen said. ,Sergio Perez was fourth as Red Bull locked out the second row.

Haas may have to spend $1 million after Mick Schumacher’s crash in last weekend's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix qualifying, team boss Guenther Steiner. Also Read: From human rights to personal safety: F1 race in Saudi Arabia faces tough questions,The German driver missed Sunday's race in Jeddah, despite being unhurt in the impact, with the shattered car needing a complete rebuild. On Saturday, during the qualifying for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Formula One fans were gripped with fear after Haas driver Mick Schumaker lost control over the curb and crashed into Turn-12. The 23-year-old's car went flying into the barriers on either side of the track before he remained seated in the cockpit for what seemed an eternity. Also Read: F1: What did we learn from Saudi Arabia GP?,Immediately, ambulance services appeared on the scene, and Mick Schumacher was airlifted to the hospital for further checks. Although the Formula One driver said he was 'OK', the horrifying crash immediately reminded former world champion Mika Hakkinen of Mick's father, the legendary Michael Schumacher. While the Haas driver was lucky to have suffered no injuries, two-time world champion Hakkinen was reminded of two traumatic incidents. The first incident was when the 53-year-old almost died in a horrifying qualifying crash ahead of the 1995 Australian Grand Prix. Also Read: Mick Schumacher 'was hoping to race' at Saudi Arabia GP after 170 mph crash at qualifying,In the Friday afternoon qualifying session of the 1995 Australian GP, Mika Hakkinen, in his McLaren car, suffered a puncture in his left rear tyre heading towards Brewery Bend.

The impact caused his helmet to strike the steering wheel, fracturing his skull, which Mick Schumacher's crash brought back painful memories of. The chassis in itself doesn't seem to be broken, the side impact structure ... the engine also, I was told from Ferrari, seems to be okay, the battery pack as well, and then all the rest is broken, Steiner told reporters. Also Read: Saudi Arabian GP: Hamilton shaky on performance in 'undrivable' Mercedes,I think the cost is still pretty high because all the suspension is gone, except the front left.

Also Read: F1: Perez bags first career-pole, Ferraris ahead of Max at Saudi Arabia GP,Haas made a strong start to the season and are fifth overall with Denmark's Kevin Magnussen scoring points in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

The next round is the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on April 10.

Formula 1 driver Mick Schumacher on Monday paid tribute to his father, legendary driver Michael Schumacher, for his 53rd birthday. The 22-year-old, who is still relatively new to the sport, shared a personal photo of himself with Michael on his Instagram handle, with the caption, Happy birthday Dad. Days like these were important to my growing passion for Motorsport, and still affects it to this day. I am grateful for all the experiences you have given me and I’m excited to be making new ones in the future. A seven-time F1 world champion, level with Lewis Hamilton, Michael Schumacher is regarded as one of the greatest ever to have graced the sport. After a remarkable career, most of which he spent with Ferrari, Michael was involved in a major skiing accident in December 2013 that left him with considerable brain damage. He was initially placed in a medical coma, but has since then been discharged and is still receiving medical treatment and help with rehabilitation at his home. Mick Schumacher joined F1 in his father's footsteps in 2021, and had a rather difficult debut season with Haas and its uncompetitive car. Yet, commentators have observed similarities between father and son, and Mick has been chosen as Ferrari's reserve driver for the 2022 F1 season. Also read | Sports in 2021: Top athletes who made headline this year,The point has not been lost on Mick either, who told German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine, The energy and strength he showed, his focus, always giving 100 per cent at work, impresses me. I really believe I inherited something in that sense. I don’t usually compare myself to others. I prefer to go my own way. But I do look for comparisons with my father. I’ve been told that we are very similar. Ferrari, who have not won a driver's championship since Kimi Räikkönen's win in 2007, will be hopeful of Mick eventually growing into his father's shoes. The 2022 F1 season, consisting of 23 races, is set to commence on March 20 at the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir.

French driver Pierre Gasly, who won last year's Italian Grand Prix at Monza, has been confirmed at Scuderia AlphaTauri alongside Yuki Tsunoda for the 2022 season of Formula One. The 25-year-old started at 10th and finished fourth in last year's Italian Grand Prix at Monza on Sunday at Zandvoort in the first Dutch Grand Prix in 36 years. Also Read | Racer Lewis Hamilton faces online racial abuse after British Grand Prix win,Gasly was a former teammate to Dutch GP winner Max Verstappen at Red Bull in 2019 but was demoted back to the junior team (Toro Rosso — now AlphaTauri) after 12 races. In 2019, he finished second in Brazil and third in Azerbaijan last June. Also Read | Formula 1: Dutch GP all Maxxed up as Verstappen scores first home win,Gasly and Tsunoda will spend another year as teammates after coming together for AlphaTauri this year. While Tsunoda's performance on the track has been patchy, Gasly has earned a name for himself by being the standout performer. Considering the French driver's recent performances there has been much chatter anticipating his next move. He has continuously been linked with Red Bull but with Sergio Perez's term being extended for another season, Gasly's return will be put on hold. AlphaTauri will be excited for the duo of Gasly and Tsunoda, taking in account the overall performance of the team this season. Some of the spots on the grid for the 2022 season are yet to be confirmed. Haas haven't officially announced their lineup, Alfa Romeo is yet to confirm Valtteri Bottas' teammate and George Russell's replacement at Williams is also yet to be revealed.

Michael Schumacher's son gets first F1 drive next season: Haas team

İstanbul, Turkey

Sebastian Vettel saluted his friend and rival Lewis Hamilton
as the "greatest driver of our era" on Sunday after the Briton sealed
his seventh world title at the Turkish Grand Prix.,The four-time world champion Ferrari driver admitted that,
emotionally, he still regarded Michael Schumacher as the greatest, but hailed
Hamilton's feat in equalling his fellow-German's record of championships.,"He is the greatest of our era for sure," said
Vettel, who finished third in Istanbul on Sunday to claim his first podium of a
disappointing final season with Ferrari.,"I think it's always difficult to compare.","How can you possibly compare (Juan Manuel) Fangio or
Stirling Moss to our generation? You can't. Maybe we will be useless in those
cars!,"Maybe they'd be useless in our cars because they're
way too fast. Who knows? It doesn't matter. I think every era has its driver or
drivers, and Lewis is certainly the greatest of our era.",<b>Also Read:&nbsp;</b><a href="https://opoyi.com/leading-formula-one-world-title-winners-after-lewis-hamilton-turkish-grand-prix-win">Leading Formula One world title winners after Lewis Hamilton Turkish Grand Prix win</a>,Vettel, who won his four world titles between 2010 and 2013
with Red Bull, said it was hard to shake the emotional ties to Schumacher, the
German star who racked up his seven in 1994, 1995, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and
2004.,Schumacher suffered a severe brain injury in a skiing
accident in the French Alps in December 2013 after which he remained in a
medically induced coma, in Grenoble, until June 2014.,Since then, the 51-year-old has remained under private
treatment at his home in Switzerland.,"To me certainly, emotionally, Michael will always be
the greatest driver, but there's no doubt Lewis is the greatest in terms of
what he has achieved," added Vettel.,"He's equalled the championships, he has more races
won, he has a lot more pole positions. I think he's done everything you can ask
for.,"And today is the best proof. It's a difficult race, a
very difficult race to stay on track and two hours long -- and probably, if
we're honest, it wasn't his race to win and he still won it.,"I think, once again, he managed to pull something
special out of that bag and, therefore, he deserves everything he has
achieved.",Hamilton's decision to do a long stint on his only set of
intermediate tyres demonstrated the tactical nous and accomplished tyre
management which underpinned his victory.,Vettel, his nearest rival in 2017 and 2018, was the first
man to congratulate him in parc ferme.,Asked what he said, he replied: "Well, I told him it's
very special for us because we can witness that history is being made.",<b>Also Read:&nbsp;</b><a href="https://opoyi.com/lewis-hamilton-not-bad-for-a-boy-from-a-council-estate">Lewis Hamilton: 'Not bad for a boy from a council estate'</a>,Hamilton's former Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg also paid
tribute.,The 2016 world champion tweeted: "7 x World Champion -
that's insane. Massively deserved.","Surely one of the greatest achievements in the history
of sports. Congratulations Lewis and enjoy the celebrations with your family
and friends."

Sebastian Vettel says Lewis Hamilton 'greatest driver of our era'

Lewis Hamilton cemented his position as one of Formula One's true greats when he equalled Michael Schumacher's all-time record of seven world titles on Sunday, another staggering achievement for a boy who grew up in modest circumstances. His victory in Istanbul -- the 94th of his career -- allowed him to add the 2020 title to his championships of 2008, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019.,The son of a black father and a white mother, whose parents separated in his youth, Hamilton, 35, grew up on a municipal housing estate.

Lewis Hamilton usurps Michael Schumacher with record 92nd F1 win

Portugal

Lewis Hamilton on Saturday claimed a dramatic last-gasp pole position in the Portuguese Grand Prix to give him the perfect platform for his bid to win a record 92nd Formula One race in Sunday's Portuguese GP.,Hamilton, in denying his Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas the pole, moved to within three of his 100th career pole as his team claimed its 12th pole from as many races this season, reported news agency AFP. The six-time world champion, who had trailed the Finn in all three practice sessions and in the two opening parts of qualifying, reeled off a stunning best lap in one minute and 16.652 seconds at the new Algarve International Circuit.,<b>Also Read |&nbsp;<a href="https://opoyi.com/lewis-hamilton-wins-eifel-grand-prix-equals-michael-schumachers-record-of-91-victories">Lewis Hamilton wins Eifel Grand Prix, equals Michael Schumacher's record of 91 victories</a></b>,His pace was enough to leave behind the Finn by 0.102 seconds and, as so often this year, to deliver heartbreak again after the pair had swapped from soft to medium tyres for their final runs.,Hamilton is raring to break Michael Schumacher's 14-year-old record of 91 race wins which he equalled in the Eifel Grand Prix at Nurburgring last time.,"It's amazing, I can't tell you how hard that was today. I guess we have a great car, but you have to drive the nuts off it to pull out a lap," AFP quoted him as saying. ,The Mercedes pair did battle throughout while Max Verstappen, who ended up in third for Red Bull, tried and failed to break up the F1 duopoly. "Valtteri has been so quick this weekend. He's topped every session so I've just been digging and digging and digging -- trying to find that extra time," added Hamilton.,<b>Also Read |&nbsp;<a href="https://opoyi.com/lewis-hamilton-eyeing-michael-schumachers-title-record-as-formula-1-returns-to-portugal">Lewis Hamilton eyeing Michael Schumacher's title record as Formula 1 returns to Portugal</a></b>,"At the end, I chose to do three laps to give me a chance to have a stab and beat his time and I think he decided to do one so I was like 'ok, this could provide me with an opportunity' and it worked," Hamilton further added.,Bottas, who is 69 points adrift of Hamilton in the drivers' title race, retained his optimism after another late disappointment.,"Obviously, at the end we decided to go for the mediums. The mediums felt a tiny bit quicker than the softs. It was my decision to go for one timed lap, but it seems like doing two laps for Lewis was better.

Verstappen, who pushed the two 'black arrows' to the limit, said he had struggled with his tyres. "It was so difficult to get the front and rear to match, but we were close -- not too far behind."

Record-seeking Lewis Hamilton claims last-gasp pole in Portugal Grand Prix

Algarve, Portugal

Lewis
Hamilton will look to continue his charge for a record-equalling seventh Formula One
championship and overtake Michael Schumacher as the driver with the most wins
at this weekend’s Portuguese Grand Prix at the Algarve International Circuit. ,Two weeks ago,
Hamilton <a href="https://opoyi.com/lewis-hamilton-wins-eifel-grand-prix-equals-michael-schumachers-record-of-91-victories">drew level with the legendary German</a> at the Nurburgring circuit on 91
wins each. ,Clear at
the top of the driver’s standings, with a 69-point lead over teammate Valtteri
Bottas in second place after seven wins from 11 races so far, the six-time F1
champion Briton is also closing in on Schumacher’s record of seven World Championships.
,For the
organisers, however, the primary focus will be to stay wary of the growing
second wave of the coronavirus pandemic across Europe.,The race,
which is the first to be held in Portugal in 24 years since Jacques Villeneuve’s
victory at Estoril in 1996, will have as many as 27,500 spectators at the
tracks under strictly-controlled conditions, AFP reported. ,There is an
obvious concern regarding the number of fans being allowed to attend the race,
with Racing Point’s Canadian driver Lance Stroll, who missed the Eifel Grand
Prix due to illness, testing positive little more than a week ago. ,However, Hamilton
winning a record 92nd race and Mercedes bagging a record seventh
constructor’s championship remains a major attraction although the latter is
likely to be delayed until next week’s Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Imola.,<b>Also Read:</b><a href="https://opoyi.com/honda-will-make-formula-one-exit-in-2021-red-bull-disappointed">Honda will make Formula One exit in 2021, Red bull disappointed</a>,While
Hamilton has a simple target for his record, Mercedes need to outscore Red Bull
by 40 points, meaning they will need a perfect performance from their drivers and
a flop from Dutchman Max Verstappen. ,Hamilton’s
win will also see him draw level with four-time champion Frenchman Alain Prost
for most Grand Prix race wins in Portugal at three apiece. ,Bottas will
be hoping for better fortunes this time around after a power unit failure in
Germany dented his title hopes. ,Team boss
Toto Wolff, who this week rejected suggestions that he is <a href="https://opoyi.com/former-f1-champ-nico-rosberg-warns-toto-wolff-exit-may-have-spiralling-effect">planning his own F1
outfit</a>, said Mercedes had identified a "failed electrical component"
as the problem.,Few of the
current field of F1 drivers have raced at the undulating Portimao track apart
from some in junior formula events, but Hamilton has normally impressed with
his ability to learn and shine on new circuits. ,Stroll's
likely return has been supported by his Racing Point boss Otmar Szafnauer as
he, along with all team members, has tested negative ahead of this weekend's
contest.,"All
members of the team at the Eifel Grand Prix returned to the UK via a private
charter flight and all tested negative upon arrival and again in a pre-event
test for the Portuguese Grand Prix," said Szafnauer.,Stroll
became the second Racing Point driver to have contracted COVID-19 this year after Sergio Perez, who missed both Silverstone races in July.,In a
statement about the attendance, the Portuguese government said the circuit had
a capacity for 90,000 and fans would be seated with "safe spacing" in
sectors of about 800.,One team
hoping a return to Portugal brings a change in fortunes is likely to be
Williams who won four of the last five races held at Estoril, including 1996
when Villeneuve led team-mate and world champion Damon Hill home in a famous
one-two. ,Williams,
under new American ownership following the Williams family's decision to sell,
are without a point so far this season.
