4-time Formula 1 Champion Sebastian Vettel will retire from the sport at the end of the season.

Vettel will leave Formula 1 as one of its most successful drivers, having won four consecutive world titles with Red Bull from 2010-2013.

Only Lewis Hamilton, Michael Schumacher & Juan Manuel Fangio have won more titles than the 35-year-old.

The Aston Martin driver said while the decision has been difficult for him, spending more time with family was a priority for him. Vettel in recent years has become an outspoken campaigner for climate change and other environmental concerns.
