Sebastian Vettel Wins Fourth F1 World Title
On Sunday, the 26-year-old Sebastian Vettel became only the fourth driver to win four world titles joining Michael Schumacher, Juan Manuel Fangio and Alain Prost were the others.
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.
Making his Formula 1 debut as a stand-in for the injured Robert Kubica at BMW Sauber, Vettel finished eighth to become the youngest driver to score a point.
Few could have predicted that the young man from Heppenheim, Germany, would go on to win four world championships in the following six seasons.
