Sure, he won his first championship in 2010 after a four-way title fight that went down to the wire at the inaugural Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. It was different in 2011. It wasn’t even close.

Many claimed that the Adrian Newey-designed car gifted him that championship, but his teammate Mark Webber only won a single race and finished third in the points standings. Again,

Vettel will be joined at the event by , who will be driving the Red Bull RB8 from the 2012 season. Vettel’s RB7 will run on synthetic fuel during the event as he has promised never to drive a conventionally-fueled race car again.

The show run will offer spectators at the track and fans worldwide the opportunity to glimpse back at Vettel’s peak a decade ago briefly and to see a modern F1 car drive around a historic circuit that hasn’t hosted a Grand Prix since 1976.
