Four-time F1 champion Sebastian Vettel says there will be no easing up after title win

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates – World champion Sebastian Vettel scoffed at suggestions that he has nothing to gain from the last three races of the season and says he will go flat out for a seventh straight win at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Vettel clinched the Formula One title at the Indian GP to become the youngest ever four-time champion, then allowed himself a few drinks on Sunday before focusing on this this weekend’s race in Abu Dhabi — where he won the inaugural race in 2009 and sealed his first title a year later.

The 26-year-old Vettel’s level of perfection means he will be highly demanding of himself until the campaign ends because “I need the team and the team needs (teammate) Mark (Webber) and myself to push the car to the limit.”
