Sebastian Vettel: Youngest F1 champion

Germany's gem, Sebastian Vettel, holds the record of being the youngest race winner in Formula 1 and with a win in Abu Dhabi he also became the youngest driver to win the championship.

The win at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix was his fifth of the season.

He first race win was at the 2008 Italian GP racing for minnows Toro Rosso. He classified 8th on the final standings and even outdid drivers from Toro Rosso's 'sister team', Red Bull.

The German was then roped in to replace David Coulthard at Red Bull Racing for 2009. He had a phenomenal season partnering Mark Webber as one of the front-runners in an engaging battle for the title. The effort took the team to second place on the constructors' standings and Vettel finished as runner-up in the drivers' contest.

Often referred to as "Schumacher junior", Vettel's speed, skill and hunger are established beyond doubt; it is now only a matter of time before the young lad moulds himself to become a force to reckon with in modern F1 racing.
