F1: Drivers with the most podiums in 2018

#2 Sebastian Vettel (12)

F1 Grand Prix of Mexico

Sebastian Vettel fell short in getting his hands on the coveted world champion trophy, and similarly, he also fell short in scoring the most number of podiums for the season with 12 in total for the year. The German succeeded in finishing a race among the top three positions twelve times in 2018, same as his teammate, Kimi Räikkönen.

Some of Sebastian's finest performances of the year came in Great Britain, Belgium and Bahrain. At Silverstone, he slipped past Lewis Hamilton on the initial lap and then built a gap to the rest of the field to score a victory.

Vettel did something similar at the Belgian Grand Prix when he overtook Lewis before the safety car was deployed for a first lap crash. In Bahrain, he managed his tires after he started from pole and held onto his lead till the chequered flag was out.
