We rate the drivers after the Indian GP
Another star performance from Sebastian Vettel crowned him as champion for the fourth consecutive time. EDD STRAW rates the German and his rivals after the Indian Grand Prix
Red Bull-Renault RB9
Start: 1st
Finish: 1st
Strategy: 2 stops (soft/medium/medium)
Rating: 10
While the Red Bull was comfortably the class of the field, this was a drive fitting of a champion. Vettel never looked like missing out on pole position, but the decision to dump the soft Pirellis after just two laps meant his strategy hung on him clearing slower cars swiftly.
