There is 'Vettel page' in F1 history from now on

Sebastian Vettel cemented his place in F1 history with a ninth straight victory and 13th of the season as his teammate Mark Webber bade farewell by completing a one-two for Red Bull in Brazil Sunday.

Rounding off a triumphant 2013, four-time champion Vettel led from start to finish to finish just over 10 seconds clear of Webber, with Fernando Alonso of Ferrari in third place.

Vettel was equaling Alberto Ascari's record for successive Grand Prix victories, the Italian achieving the feat over two seasons with Ferrari in 1952 and 1953.

He also matched the record haul of 13 wins achieved by his German compatriot Michael Schumacher in the 2004 season.

Webber was unable to exert any real pressure on Vettel in his bid to sign off his F1 career with a victory, but was satisfied with his efforts before moving to sportscar racing.
