In another couple of months time, Sebastian Vettel would head to Spa-Francorchamps, a venue that marked his 52nd Grand Prix win in the top annals of the sport.

Now if one were to think of it, then it's a bit embarrassing and strange at the same time that not since the Belgian Grand Prix victory of 2018 has the famous German talent gone on to register another race against his name.

It's absurd from a Ferrari point of view that during this time, the likes of Lewis Hamilton, Vettel's arch-rival has won 12 contests in the aftermath of the 2018 Belgian contest.

But a little under a year back, Vettel was in full form, making the most of his SF 70H's straight-line speed in a high-speed, fast-paced Belgian run in the picturesque Ardennes contest.

Making light work of his Mercedes opponents- Lewis and Valtteri - the German driver delivered a literal blitzkrieg; a lightning-fast attack over his staunchest opponents in 2018 and registered a comfortable win involving a classic Ferrari one-stop.

What was incredible about Vettel's win was the fact that the Ferrari driver would go onto snatch the lead of the race from none other than Lewis, the pole-sitter. Spurred by the incredible straight-line speed of his Ferrari, Vettel hung Hamilton out to dry in the end, the Mercedes doing little to dominate the prancing horse.

What's interesting is that Spa happens to be a venue where, as on date, both the five-time world champion as well as the four-time world champion have both won on 3 occasions.
