He participated in 12 Formula One World Championship Grands Prix, debuting on 2 August 1953. He scored no championship points.

Seidel and Helm Glöckler in Porsche 550-015 at the 1955 Mille Miglia, finishing 8th

Seidel often entered cars under his own name, or under the Scuderia Colonia banner. After having been refused a start at the 1962 German Grand Prix due sufficient laps in practice, 4 at over 10 minutes instead of 5, a fate shared with several other drivers, Seidel got in an argument with officials from the Automobilclub von Deutschland. Combined with some doubts about the level of preparation of his cars, Dan Gurney had refused to race it in the 1962 Belgian Grand Prix were Porsche remained absent, Seidel's competition licence was withdrawn, and he offered his two cars up for sale.<ref name=IMS1062>Template:Cite magazine</ref> In spite of not having a licence, Seidel competed in the non-championship 1962 Mexican Grand Prix a few months later, to trigger an FIA investigation into his case, for no avail.

He died in 1987 of a heart attack.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
