Sebastian Vettel (-dezeˈbasti̯an ˈfɛtəl; born 3 July 1987) is a German Formula One racing driver, currently driving for Red Bull Racing. He is the current World Champion, having won in the 2010 season.

In his first year driving for Red Bull in 2009, Vettel finished the season as the youngest-ever championship runner-up. He also secured Red Bull's first pole position and race win in the team's history. The following year he went on to become the youngest driver ever to win the World Drivers' Championship. In the same year he helped Red Bull win the team's first World Constructors' Championship, along with teammate Mark Webber.

Vettel is also the youngest Formula One driver to drive at a Grand Prix meeting, at 19 years and 53 days, to score championship points (on his race debut at the 2007 United States Grand Prix), to lead a race (at the 2007 Japanese Grand Prix), to secure pole position and to win a race (both at the 2008 Italian Grand Prix).
