Vettel and Ferrari: How did it come to this?

Sebastian Vettel joined Ferrari as a four-time world champion in 2015 looking to emulate his boyhood hero Michael Schumacher and rack up multiple titles with F1's most famous team. But a remarkable fall from grace in the intervening five years now leaves his F1 future in doubt and the genuine possibility of a quiet retirement from the sport at the age of just 32.

On Tuesday, a joint statement confirmed the 2020 F1 season -- should it go ahead -- will be Vettel's last for Ferrari and the four-time champion admitted the recent hiatus in racing due to the coronavirus has led him to reflect on what he wants from his future.
