Four-time defending world champion Sebastian Vettel will quit Red Bull at the end of the current Formula One season, the Austrian team said on Saturday.
Vettel, 27, who won all his world titles with Red Bull in a four-year spell of dominance, will be replaced by 20-year-old Russian Daniil Kvyat, who debuted this season with Red Bull's junior team Toro Rosso.
A Red Bull statement said: "Sebastian Vettel has advised us that he will be leaving Infiniti Red Bull Racing at the end of the 2014 season.
"We want to warmly thank Sebastian for the incredible role he has played at Infiniti Red Bull for the last six years.
"As we wish Sebastian well in the next stage of his career, we also look to the future with excitement, as the vacancy makes way for the next generation of Red Bull racers."
