Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel is the new-old world champion in Formula 1. The German finished third in the race track "Suzuka" in Japan and 4 rounds before the end of the season to ensure the World Cup.

Vettel needed only one precise point today to become the youngest double world champion. German made it for 24 years and 98 days, thereby improving the achievement of Fernando Alonso, who in the 2006th was nearly a year old when triumphed for the second time in the most commercial road championship.

Otherwise, the winner of the "Suzuka" was Jenson Button with McLaren, who went ahead of Vettel first position after the second pit, somewhere in the middle of the race, then for a moment does not undermine its success. In this way, Britain continued its excellent performance in recent months after four consecutive podium results to be greeted with a victory. As it is known today, success comes only days after the world champion in 2009 renewed his contract with the team from Woking.

Second left Ferrari Fernando Alonso, who also went to Vettel after the perfect place pit and faster work of Ferrari mechanics.

Cool in Japan present and 7-time world champion Michael Schumacher, who remained sixth. Not particularly well developed race Lewis Hamilton, who made a strong start after the first turn came in second place but lost the race over the first 4 positions to pilots. A curious moment happened in the middle of the race when after a collision with Felipeis the mass of the quake came the safety car. It was another race in which Hamilton and Massa "hang" for joy without serious consequences.

"I mean so many things, but now my little difficult. The excitement is great. We were able to accomplish the goal we set early in the season. The final four got together in less than 10 seconds, indicating how race was contested. The hardest thing was to defend his title from last year. I'm glad we did, "said world champion Sebastian Vettel.
