In this week's AUTOSPORT magazine, find out whether the F1 paddock thinks Sebastian Vettel is on his way to becoming one of the sport's all-time greats, plus in-depth previews of the IndyCar and BTCC title showdowns this weekend
Autosport Magazine
Autosport is the UK's must-read motorsport magazine! It is revered by fans and industry personnel alike as the ultimate source of motorsport news and analysis.
Sebastian Vettel achieved the inevitable at the Japanese Grand Prix: he scored enough points - he only needed one! - to put the 2011 drivers' title out of reach of his only remaining pursuer, Jenson Button, in the final four races of the year.
As a result, the 24-year-old German has joined an elite band of champions to have successfully retained their title: Alberto Ascari, Juan Manuel Fangio, Jack Brabham, Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher Mika Hakkinen and Fernando Alonso.
