Vettel controlled the race from the start, managing varying track conditions and the constant threat of rain. His RB9 delivered the sort of stability and traction that had carried Red Bull through the second half of the year, and the German rarely looked under pressure.
The win capped off a season defined by relentless pace, clean execution and a level of consistency rarely seen in the sport. By matching Schumacher’s 13-win mark and adding the unprecedented nine-race streak, Vettel closed the year as a four-time world champion who had rewritten several chapters of the sport’s statistical history.
