Sebastien Vettel just about did what he needed to do to win a third straight World Title, he finished sixth at the Brazilian Grand Prix to take the championship by three points from Fernando Alonso.
At 25, this makes Vettel the youngest triple World Champion by six years and makes him the only driver to win his first three titles consecutively.
Although he came to Brazil with a 13 point lead it was a tense race for Vettel after being hit on lap one and having to come from the back of the field, but despite that the rain and bodged pit-stop he made up the places needed.
Unsurprisingly Vettel’s hero is fellow German and F1 legend Michael Schumacher, and the question has to be asked can he emulate, or even surpass, his achievements in the sport.
Vettel is already a triple world champion and still has, if he chooses, at least 10 years more in F1 and with Red Bull’s ability to find that extra pace when they need to, right now you’d have to say he can.
