Sebastian Vettel caused quite a stir yesterday with his new haircut. The German's balding head suddenly looked a lot older, which of course caused a lot of memes and funny reactions online.

In 2015, Sebastian Vettel made the switch from Red Bull Racing to Ferrari as a young and fresh driver. The German had four world titles under his belt and despite being beaten by newcomer Daniel Ricciardo in the last year for the Austrian team, he went to Ferrari with full confidence.

Tough period for Vettel

At the Italian team Vettel hoped to do what his hero Michael Schumacher once did: Become World Champion with Ferrari. Vettel put a lot of time and energy into the Ferrari project, but had to deal with many changes at the top and also doubts about his own abilities. 

After Charles Leclerc was brought in it was clear that there was a new leader within Ferrari. Vettel has worked hard, but he now has to make do with a seat at Aston Martin. The pictures that team has now published show a clear change. Vettel is no longer the young dog who arrived at Ferrari. According to some people, this does something to a driver.
