Sebastian Vettel has described his move to Ferrari as an 'incredible honour' after signing a three-year deal to replace Fernando Alonso. Alonso is heading for McLaren, the team he left so acrimoniously in 2007, with Vettel ending his stay at Red Bull. Vettel, the four-time world champion, will team up with Kimi Raikkonen at the Prancing Horse. He will earn about £50million a year as the highest-paid driver in history.
