nown for his remarkable career, Vettel won four consecutive World Championship titles from 2010 to 2013 with Red Bull. During this period, he also helped the team secure four straight Constructors’ Championships. His dominance in the sport earned him a legendary status, particularly for his achievements during his time with Red Bull.
After stepping away from F1 to focus on personal causes like climate change, Vettel is now set to race again at the 2025 Race of Champions (ROC), scheduled for March 7-8 at the Accor Stadium in Sydney, Australia. The ROC brings together drivers from various motorsport disciplines, including F1, WEC, and NASCAR, for a unique competition that showcases raw driving talent. Vettel, who won the individual ROC title in 2015 and claimed six Nations Cup victories with Michael Schumacher, will team up with Schumacher’s son, Mick, to represent Germany in the event. This marks his first major racing appearance since retiring from F1.
In addition to Vettel’s return, it has been confirmed that Pirelli will be the official tyre supplier for the 2025 ROC. This marks a significant partnership, as Pirelli has long been associated with F1, and they will now be involved in the prestigious event, which will be held for the first time in Australia. Mario Isola, Pirelli’s Motorsport Director, expressed excitement about the opportunity, highlighting how the ROC’s format allows drivers from diverse backgrounds to compete on equal footing, making for a thrilling spectacle.
Pirelli, who are also responsible for supplying F1 tyres, have been conducting tests with current F1 stars like Lewis Hamilton as part of preparations for new tyres and regulations set to be introduced in F1 in 2026. The ROC promises to be a high-octane event, attracting motorsport enthusiasts from around the world.
