Vettel Brings Home his 4th Consecutive Victory

Sebastian Vettel grabbed his fourth consecutive victory at the 2012 Indian Grand prix yesterday, the 28^th of October, 2012. The 25 year old Formula One racer now leads the championship with 13 points over Alonso despite a slow start at the beginning of the season. Interestingly this is also Vettels second consecutive win at the Indian Grand prix where he took the 1^st position last year as well.

The victory at the Indian Grand Prix has now put Vettel at 240 points, 13 points ahead of Alonso’s 227 points. Alonso however, proved he is just as good as Vettel by grabbing 2^nd position despite starting from 5^th. The 3^rd position was also grabbed by Red Bull thanks to Mark Webber. According to quotes from Alonso, he still has complete confidence that he will win the championship and that his driving at the Buddh International Circuit proved just that.

“Of course,” Alonso said when asked how sure he was about his confidence. “There are 75 points available. We are 13 behind. We know that we need to improve. We are not fast enough, especially on Saturdays, as I said, but hopefully we can improve the situation in Abu Dhabi or in USA. The races are long, and as we saw today with Mark, a KERS problem can happen to anyone. It can happen to Seb, it can happen to me and it can happen to all of us. There are still many points on the table and I'm still very optimistic.”
