Formula One: Vettel looking to create history
The German can become the sport’s youngest double champion.
MONZA:
Sebastian Vettel has promised that there will be no letting up until the end of the season even if the Formula One title is in the bag already. The German can become the sport’s youngest double champion as soon as the next race in Singapore on September 25. In addition, Vettel already has 10 poles from 13 races and needs four more from the last six to equal the record set by Britain’s Nigel Mansell in 1992. After eight wins in 2011, he can also equal or surpass Michael Schumacher’s 2004 feat of 13 victories in a season.
