The defending champion didn’t have a great 2012 and he deserves full credit for the stellar comeback. He was lagging 40 points behind Alonso but kind of champion that he is, Vettel now leads by 6 points after winning three successive titles, last being the Korean GP.

The German has made his intentions clear by dominating in both the practice sessions on Friday. On Saturday, Vettel once dominated the proceedings as he bagged the pole position. The 25-year-old is an expert when it comes to leading from that position. There is no reason why he cannot win his second consecutive Indian Grand Prix.
