In 2009, Red Bull promoted the 22-year-old into its fold beginning a fruitful spell for both the driver and the Austria-based side as they went on to dominate the sport under the guidance of master engineer Adrian Newey.įrom 2009 to 2013, Vettel secured the pole position 44 times, won 38 races, and clinched the World Championship in four consecutive seasons. Recognising his talent, Toro Rosso, the sister team of Red Bull, decided to bring him in as one of its two first-team drivers for the 2008 season which turned out to be the future four-time world champion’s breakthrough season as he secured his first pole and first win in F1 at the Italian Grand Prix. By finishing eighth, he became the then youngest driver to score a point in F1 history. In the 2007 season, Vettel made his Formula One debut replacing Robert Kubica as Sauber’s second driver in the USA Grand Prix. I don't think the show will ever return in all of its Season Two/Quentin/Carver/Spa glory though.Sebastian Vettel to retire from Formula 1 at end of 2022 season The only disappointing thing was the episode ran to about 40 minutes which is very short for an episode of Nip/Tuck - there was 10 minutes of adverts after the show!įantastic episode, and although I enjoyed season four, already this season has taken off and is better than season four completely. I enjoyed the fake opening credits, the music, the camera work, it was a joy to watch. Especially using the foil of the plastic surgery too, which of course is 'essential' to LA culture. I have to say I'm loving how real this season seems - all the allusions to scripting, shooting and networks is a real insight into quite probably how the industry works. We all know the characters from watching the show for four and a half years, but the versions the US audiences would've seen in this episode were far more exaggerated and not at all as true to life as we know them. There were laugh out loud moments (the allusion to Hey Paula! had me on the floor) and the mockumentary is always great, especially because it shows what a fickle industry US reality television actually is. At the moment, I would rate it third against Julia McNamara (s2) and Joy Kringle (s3).Īlthough the plot wasn't all there, the actual premise for the episode was fantastic. Last night's episodes has to be one of my all time favourites.
