Soon to be the tackiest neighbor on his street.

Having officially parted company with Red Bull on Friday, Sebastian Vettel paid a final visit to the team's Milton Keynes factory on Tuesday to thank staff and say a proper goodbye.

The four-time world champion was presented with a number of gifts by team principal Christian Horner and chief technical officer Adrian Newey, including a 50 percent scale model bull with his championship laurels engraved on the plinth.

The German will also receive one of his championship-winning cars, though not for a while yet because, as Horner joked: "We don't want it turning up in Maranello."

Seems like a standup guy. No Mike Schumacher, but whatevs. Excuse my ignorance, but does this mean a deadly Vettel/ Raikonnen combo at Ferrari, or something better?

Also, is Red Bull actually Vettel? All I know is here's the Ford team selling their interest for $1 to Red Bull, then here's Red Bull winning it all handily for a while, and now their star is fading.

It's a Golden Ox, Vettel. This is our prayer to the old gods that you'll change your mind last minute and stay.

Red Bull is Adrian Newey. Vettel is just his Darth Vader.
