LONDON: The writing has been on the wall for Sebastian Vettel since September 2018 when Ferrari announced Charles Leclerc as his Formula One team mate.

He won more races , scored more points , started from more poles , stood on more podiums , had more fastest laps and drew more applause than his 32-year-old teammate whose status as the main man slipped out of sight. In return he has taken 14 wins over the past five years, only one more than in his final 2013 season at Red Bull, to take his career tally to 53.

Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton has accelerated past him and is now a six-times champion on the cusp of matching Schumacher’s record.
