How Vettel's Ferrari mission ended on a sour note
Sebastian Vettel's six-year spell at Ferrari reached its unhappy conclusion with a painfully difficult season, while teammate Charles Leclerc made the best of an underperforming F1 car.
"The mission is still there and the target is still there to achieve the mission - to win with Ferrari."
Sebastian Vettel spoke those words only nine months ago, during the aborted Australian Grand Prix weekend. At the time, just before the COVID-19 pandemic brought Formula 1 and the world to a standstill, it looked near certain that he would be re-signed to a fresh Ferrari deal and continue striving to achieve his dream: winning in red, just like his childhood hero, Michael Schumacher.
