Next, let's meet another Hun, Sebastian Vettel, also from Germany.
He is at the beginning of his career. He is 24 years old and is the current world champion and the previous year's world champion making him the youngest driver to win 2 consecutive world titles.
Sebastian is also the youngest driver: 1) to have taken part in an official practice session of a Grand Prix 2) to score championship points 3) to lead a race 4) to secure pole position 5) to win a race
He currently drives for Red Bull Racing which bought the Jaguar Racing team from Ford a few years back and changed the name.
In the first race (Australian Grand Prix) he qualified to start in 6th position and finished in second place winning 18 points.
In the second race (Malaysian Grand Prix) he qualified to start in 5th position and finished in 11th place behind Michael Schumacher winning no points, but getting some attention after another driver punctured his tire when he was in 4th place.
The incident:
Vettel's response:
After giving him the finger, then calling him an idiot, he apparently really pissed the other driver off by calling him a cucumber.
I don't know what that means, must be a German thing, but this apparently pissed off the other driver enough to file a formal complaint causing Vettel to be penalized by F1.
His current salary is reported to be $12,000,000.00 a year.
His current girlfriend:
