MANILA, Philippines – In Formula One, four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel won the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix by a massive margin for his seventh successive victory. The 26-year-old was in a league of his own, 40 seconds clear at his second pitstop, and then taking the checkered flag half a minute ahead of second-placed Australian teammate Mark Webber. Vettel has now won 11 races this season, and 37 in his career. His streak now equals the longest winning streak in Formula One’s modern era. It’s the same single-season tally racked up by fellow German Michael Schumacher in 2004. The all-time record of nine was set by Italian Alberto Ascari, and Vettel is still scheduled to race in Texas and Brazil before the year is out. -- Mornings @ ANC, November 4, 2013.
