CHAMPIONS Red Bull and Sebastian Vettel have promised there will be no letting up until the end of the season even if both Formula One titles are in the bag already.
After a dominant victory in Sunday's Italian Grand Prix, the 24-year-old Vettel can become the sport's youngest double champion as soon as the next race in Singapore on September 25 if results go his way. Vettel has a 112-point lead with only 150 still to be won and his rivals have all recognized the battle is over. Red Bull is 126 clear of McLaren in the constructors' standings.
"Our approach to Singapore will be exactly the same as every grand prix so far this year," team principal Christian Horner said afterwards.
"We will go there to try and win it. He (Vettel) came close last year, it would be great to win that race. And the championship will take care of itself at the end of the day."
Vettel is a keen student of Formula One history, far more so than his great compatriot and seven-time champion Michael Schumacher, and already holds several records.
He is already the youngest champion, points scorer, pole sitter, driver to stand on the podium and race winner. If he continues to take poles and wins he can claim a few more milestones and he knows it.
