Defending champion Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull termed “discipline and focus” as the two main ingredients of success after winning his second successive Indian Grand Prix here on Sunday.
A flying Vettel faced no challenge whatsoever as he led from the start to finish at the Buddh International Circuit and recorded his fourth win on the trot to extend his lead in the Drivers’ Championship to 13 points over second-placed Fernando Alonso of Ferrari.
“It was my fourth win in succession. The feeling is pretty amazing because it is hard to set these targets. These kinds of things either happen or they don’t. All in all, it was a fantastic race and I enjoyed it. I got a good start which was important. We had very good pit stops,” he said at the post-race press conference.
“It takes a lot of discipline and focus at the right moment to achieve such feats,” Vettel said.
The German was gracious in thanking his entire Red Bull Racing team for his success.
“I thank the whole team because the whole team is working together fantastically. The guys are working night and day in the garrage and in the factory to improve the car,” Vettel said.
He was full of praise for the circuit and the great Indian hospitality which he received here in the last two years.
“The feedback from drivers about the circuit is very positive. You are challenged to the limit here. One mistake can cost you dearly,” Vettel said.
