And only the fourth driver to win four world titles - Michael Schumacher, Juan Manuel Fangio and Alain Prost were the others - when he won the Indian Grand Prix, and only the third to do it consecutively.

But what is most impressive is that he's done it at such a young age. Fangio was 45 when he took his fourth title, Prost was 38 and Schumacher was 32.
Vettel is just 26 - the age when Prost won his first grand prix - and he is well on his way to positioning himself as one of the sport's greats, and well done to Red Bull, who clearly saw something in him back in 2000 when they signed him to their young driver programme before promoting him to the Red Bull junior team.
