Wild celebrations as Vettel wins title

Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel clinched his fourth consecutive world title with victory in the Indian Grand Prix.

The German, 26, drove a perfect race to secure his sixth consecutive victory this season and become only the fourth man in history to win four titles.

Vettel joins legends Juan Manuel Fangio, Alain Prost and Michael Schumacher as a four-time champion.

The victory keeps Vettel on target to equal the all-time record of nine consecutive F1 race wins.
Vettel's Red Bull team also won the Formula 1 constructors' championship for the fourth consecutive year.

The win was Vettel's sixth in succession and 10th in total in an incredible year that could yet see him match Schumacher's record of 13 wins in a single season.

Despite his impressive form, Vettel has not always been a popular winner. Wins in Belgium, Britain, Canada and Singapore were greeted by boos, and Vettel revealed on the podium in India how he had been affected by the abuse he had received.

"It has not been an easy season," he said. "From the outside people will think it was easy but it wasn't.

"It has been hard for me in particular. To be booed when I have not done anything wrong was hard, but I think I answered it on the track, which I am very pleased about."

Should Vettel win the three remaining races in Abu Dhabi, the United States, and Brazil, he will also equal Alberto Ascari's run of nine consecutive grand prix wins, achieved in 1952 and 1953.

Appears Alonso and Hamilton disagree with you:

"I congratulate him for his performance and his achievements," Alonso said. "The numbers speak for his driving.

"Being a four-time world champion, he is a great driver."
"He is a fantastic driver," Alonso said.

Lewis Hamilton "It is an incredible achievement for such a young individual. He is in a class of his own, and he is on his way to becoming the greatest driver in F1, if not already.

Of course they have to say that!

Alonso has previously stated that he was racing Adrian Newey (the car designer) rather than Vettel.
