Sebastian Vettel wrapped up the World Championship in suitable style with victory in the Indian Grand Prix on Sunday morning.The win enables the 26-year-old German to add to his already formidable tally of Formula 1 records - the Red Bull driver now the youngest to win four straight World Championships.
Although Vettel was unable to add to another record - he had previously led every single lap at the Buddh International Circuit - it was another imperious display. A variety of strategies inspired by a marked performance differential between the two tyres on offer meant he had to pit early but it seemed inevitable he would eventually pop up in P1.
It was a different matter for Fernando Alonso, the only driver with a mathematical chance of overhauling Vettel in the title race. As the latter performed doughnuts in front of the crowd before getting down on his knees in front of his RB9 - a suitable 'I am not worthy' gesture - the Ferrari driver was reflecting on his 11th place.
