The three-time champion Sebastian Vettel wants to make history with his Red Bull team and become F1 world champion for the fourth time. Vettel continues to lead the standings with 272 points, followed by his archrival, the Spanish driver Fernando Alonso, who has 195 points and the British Lewis Hamilton, who has 167 points.
After his victory in the Korean Grand Prix, Vettel scored his 8th win of the season and his 4th in a row, which increasingly seem to lead the German driver towards his fourth consecutive victory. Meanwhile, Fernando Alonso after 12 grand prix, has not been able to overtake Vettel in the standings so, Red Bull triumph in 2013 seems imminent.

Many changes are coming in the Formula 1 especially for Ferrari’s team, which recently announced that Kimi Raikkonen will race with them in 2014. This news has caused much controversy, because it is rumored that the characters of the two drivers are not compatible, which could generate quite a lot internal problems. Meanwhile, the Brazilian Felipe Massa, current Alonso’s teammate, seems unhappy with what happened and said that he won’t race for Alonso anymore and concentrate on thinking of himself for the coming races. However, even more surprising, were the recent comments by the Ferrari’s president, Luca di Montezemolo, admiring the work of Raikkonen, who does not belong to his team yet, and who he couldn’t even bear a few years ago. Montezemolo has hinted that Raikkonen will fight for the championship and pretty much has established itself as the favorite for the 2014 championship.
However, Alonso is not the only that will have a new partner in 2014, Sebastian Vettel will have a new mate for next season too. Daniel Ricciardo will be the new member of Red Bull, as announced by the team itself. The Australian, who is now at Toro Rosso, will take over from Mark Webber after his withdrawal from Formula 1.
Vettel is in the prime of his career and Braun, a German brand, wanted to take advantage of this good moment to present him as their new image, while launching their Cooltec shaver. The brand has launched a campaign focused on the topic “achieving dreams”, and the current world champion said that “since childhood” his dream was to become a Formula 1 driver. While it is the dream of all drivers to become the next F1 champion, Vettel is clearly on his way to get his fourth precious championship in Brazil 2013.
For the second consecutive year, on the 24th of November, the Brazilian Grand Prix will close the Formula 1 season. With an area of 4.3 km and 71 laps counterclockwise with four fast sections, two slow corners, three ideal overtaking areas and a maximum speed of 325 kilometers per hour, Interlagos is a fast circuit and , physically speaking , very demanding for the drivers, who will battle to the end to win the world championship title. Although it´s too early to make additional forecasts, we expect this race to be a show to remember.
