Formula One is going to miss Sebastian Vettel and not only because he’s one of the most likeable characters in the paddock – he’s still pretty damn quick in a racing car, as his surge at the end of the season proved. After announcing he was retiring, Vettel looked like a liberated man, and his six point scoring results in the last ten races of the season moved the Silverstone-based team from 9th in the championship to miss out by a whisker on P6 in the end. The point scored in Abu Dhabi was not enough, again doomed by poor strategy from the team but his driving throughout his last weekend as a Formula One driver was impeccable.
