Sebastian Vettel has pledged to keep pushing until the very end as he aims to secure an amazing fourth straight drivers’ and constructors’ title double at this week’s Indian Grand Prix.
The 26-year-old Red Bull ace, who enjoys a 90-point lead over his nearest challenger Fernando Alonso, needs only to finish among the top five on Sunday to wrap up the drivers’ championship.
While Vettel would become the youngest man to win four in a row, with Juan Manuel Fangio and Michael Schumacher the only others to do it, the constructors’ title is also significant.
With a whopping 148-point lead, Red Bull only have to maintain a 129-point gap to seal their fourth consecutive team championship, the best run since Ferrari dominated the last decade. Vettel is on the best run of his career after winning the last five Grands Prix, and he also triumphed at BIC in 2011 and 2012.
But despite his good form, the German is not taking anything for granted. ‘It looks very good at this stage, but it’s not over before it’s over. We obviously have a very, very good gap but we will still keep pushing,’ said Vettel.
