Between 2010-13, team and driver reeled off four consecutive Drivers\u2019 and Constructors\u2019 Championship wins.<\/p>\n It was only later that Vettel truly tapped into his gratitude for those times.<\/p>\n \u201cMy dream was always one Sebastian Vettel makes new Red Bull confession after winning four F1 titles, then naturally, you go again and then there\u2019s the next race,\u201d said Vettel in a Entrepreneur Middle East interview.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a bit of a shame because you don\u2019t enjoy the moment so much, because the next race is coming and you\u2019re so focused on doing it again, and it\u2019s what you\u2019re working towards.<\/p>\n \u201cBut then, later in my career, I realised I had that privilege of so many races, and working with very gifted people mostly.<\/p>\n \u201cFor sure, the trophies and the championships is one thing, and is what people rate and see as success, but I think later on, you sort of redefine what success means.<\/p>\n \u201cI think I\u2019ve not left any burning bridges. I made a lot of friends and had great experiences with people that I\u2019m sharing. It\u2019s those sorts of stories that really make who you are, rather than what you did and you achieved in a certain moment.\u201d<\/p>\n Vettel was asked to describe his Red Bull career in one word.<\/p>\n \u201cHungry.<\/p>\n \u201cBoth myself and the team were very, very hungry and ambitious.\u201d<\/p>\n More F1 nostalgia via PlanetF1.com<\/p>\n \u2018Daddy, don\u2019t go\u2019 \u2013 Sebastian Vettel opens up on F1 career decline<\/a><\/p>\n Steiner\u2019s \u2018lucky\u2019 Red Bull Racing exit \u2018best thing that happened\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n From Red Bull, Vettel joined Ferrari in 2015, looking to restore title-winning ways to the Scuderia.<\/p>\n Vettel did win 14 races as a Ferrari driver, but did not succeed in winning a further title.<\/p>\n After his Red Bull success, Vettel was asked to describe his Ferrari journey in one word.<\/p>\n \u201cPassionate,\u201d was the word which Vettel chose.<\/p>\n He added: \u201cI met a lot of passionate people. I was very passionate.<\/p>\n \u201cWe weren\u2019t as successful as we set out to be, but still, I think it was a great time.\u201d<\/p>\n For a driver who won four World Championships and 53 grands prix, Vettel nonetheless has a plethora of career highlights to go to.<\/p>\n But, when it comes to picking his best race, his struggles to do so shaped how he looks at life now.<\/p>\n \u201cI often had that question, has this and this race been the best, or what has been your best race, and I\u2019m not really good at answering that question,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cObviously, it\u2019s great that I have the privilege to pick from so many, but at some point, I came up with the answer that the best one is still to come.<\/p>\n \u201cThat has become my mantra, that the best day, or the best race, is still to come, looking forward. Because otherwise, what do you look forward to if you always look back.\u201d<\/p>\n Want to be the first to know exclusive information from the F1 paddock?
