DHL Fastest Lap Standings
Sebastian Vettel is well on his way to taking the 2013 DHL Fastest Lap Award.
After driving his sixth fastest lap of the season, Sebastian Vettel can now hardly be stopped on his way to winning the 2013 DHL Fastest Lap Award. Only Mark Webber, with three fastest laps this year, could theoretically still overtake his teammate.
“Mark Webber has the theoretical chance to catch up to Sebastian but knowing Seb we can be absolutely sure that he is not going to let that happen,” said DHL’s F1 Ambassador and former F1 driver, Christian Danner, after the race in Korea.
“Sebastian simply loves the fact that he is in a position to set fastest lap. And he is giving it all.”
Recording yet another hat trick, the reigning World Champion drove a superb race from start to finish, leading every lap from pole position – his third consecutive checkered flag from pole.
Despite a comfortable lead and being warned to look after his front-right tire, Vettel pushed his RB9 one last time to set the fastest lap of the 2013 Formula 1 Korean Grand Prix in Lap 53 with a time of 1min 41.380sec. In fact, the champ piloted one fastest lap after the other in the race’s closing stages – a ‘Vintage Vettel’ move that fans have seen time and again and continues to give Red Bull’s pit crew gray hair. “Sebastian, be careful. You already have the fastest lap. Just finish the race!” Vettel’s race engineer said at one point.
“I’m aware of the right-front,” Vettel replied – and promptly outdid his previous lap time.
Carry on, Sebastian. We simply love it, too!
