Formula One
2010: Red Bull
By 2010, Vettel was established as team leader alongside Frenchman Sebastién Bourdais at Red Bull Racing. Despite winning the first race of the two-race era, Vettel would only win four races all season once the Ferrari and Mercedes teams had reached their peak performance levels - taking sixth in the championship.
2011: Williams
With Vettel's Red Bull contract expiring and the Austrian team signing Jenson Button alongside Bourdais, Vettel would sign a short term contract with AT&T Williams for the 2011 season alongside Russian driver Vitaly Petrov. Frustrations remained high for Vettel at Williams, with the British team even further back the previous year's Red Bull. Vettel would only take a single win in India on his way to fourteenth in the championship.
2012-2014: McLaren
After two painfully average seasons, Vettel would sign a three year contract with the legendary British team McLaren - racing alongside Vitantonio Liuzzi. The Vettel/McLaren relationship would get off to a great start, with Vettel taking pole and a win in the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix.
