Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel is the new world champion, and the youngest in history, after a gripping Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Vettel led from the start and only surrendered the lead after his tire stop, but the outcome of the championship was effectively decided on the opening lap when Mercedes GP’s Michael Schumacher spun and was mounted by an unsighted Tonio Liuzzi. As the safety car came out, Renault crucially pitted Vitaly Petrov, as did Mercedes Nico Rosberg. Both stops would later play key roles.

It was a great race, worth noting that Vettel is the youngest World Champion in history. A bit of a cheeky little brat, but he can drive! Kudo's to Red Bull for no team orders over the last few races. I would've like to see Webber win it, but when ever it came down to the crunch Vettel flat out out drove him.

Anybody that missed it should try to catch the replay on Speed if for no other reason than to see the Abu Dhabi track at night, amazing. Great coverage PD!!

 

Thanks bro.
Ya that track is something to see at night. Now withdrawal sets in till next year.
I too was hoping Mark Webber would take it this year.

 

How old is he?

 

He's just over 23, about 100 days younger than Lewis Hamilton was when he won it.
