Many will point to the Abu Dhabi finale in his first championship-winning year as a fortunate series of events in his battle against Alonso, but it must be remembered that no title is won in a single race. Whilst Red Bull was dominant in 20 - where Vettel equalled Alberto Ascari's long-standing record of nine consecutive race victories - 20 saw the championship battle go right down to the wire. Vettel became the fifth different World Champion in five years when securing his first title in 2010, following Fernando Alonso, Kimi Raikkonen, Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button.īut the German's triumph would see the dawn of a four-year period of dominance not seen since his idol Michael Schumacher secured five in a row for Ferrari a decade earlier.
