INDIAN GRAND PRIX 2013
StrumSolo > 25/10/2013, 12:00
So the first two practice sessions are done and dusted. And guess what? Sebastien Vettel was quickest in both of them.
He just needs to finish fifth or higher in Sunday's race to claim a fourth consecutive world title. It's looking more than likely at the moment...
Here's the top 10 for that second session:
Very much the usual suspects. Can any (or enough) of them find a bit of pace and STOP SEB in tomorrow morning's session, and then qualifying?
Probably not.

...and Vettel was quickest in the 3rd session as well.
Qualifying is about to start now. He's getting pole, isn't he? -

It looks likely Scotty, as well as taking the championship as well barring a DNF. There's been a lot of talk about the softer compound tyre, so whoever makes best use of this will probably find themselves up towards the lead...
On the F1 show last night they were interviewing Christian Horner and asked him that if Vettel was out in front, would they ask him to rein it in a bit and preserve the tyres to ensure he takes the win, but his response was that there will be no special orders and that he (Vettel) would race as normal!!! Yeah I believe that too... -

Webber's gonna have to shunt him, its the only thing for it.
Grosjean doesn't make the cut after crawling around the track on the hard tyres! 17th on the grid for him tomorrow. Poor form, Lotus. -

Usual suspects through the 2nd qualifying, with both McLarens in as well as Hulkenburg.. Don't think it will be Red Bull 1-2 this time, but I am notorious for making wrong decisions lol... -

Yeah it seems they put Webber on the medium tyre so as to cover all bases apparently!!!! or in other words to protect Vettel and makes sure he gets the win.... Don't worry Mark, just keep picking up your cheques and when you leave, you can deck Vettel out in an 'unfortunate accident' lol
So Vettel, Rosberg, Hamilton and Webber takes the first 4 places, what a surprise eh?!? not... -

Plenty of drama.
Vettel went in to the pits on his second lap which meant he had to fight his way back from 16th. He has done of course, and after 45 laps he holds a 24 second lead. Easy.
Alonso, the only man capable of stopping Vettel today is way down in 14th. A couple of knocks for him early on, not been a great day for the Spaniard.
Mark Webber's just retired due to problems with his alternator but as it stands Red Bull will still claim the constructors championship today.
Here's the top 6 as it stands:
Vettel will be the 2013 champion within the next 20 minutes, barring any mishaps... -

Sebastien Vettel wins the Indian Grand Prix and the 2013 world championship. That's his 10th victory of the season too, no-one got near him.
Here are the final standings for the race:
