Japanese Grand Prix 2013: Predictions and Preview for Weekend Race

Sebastian Vettel is becoming one of those rare athletes who gets so good that he ceases competing with contemporaries when he reaches a certain point in his career. 

Now, when the German’s form is dissected, he is measured against record books and history, and this Sunday in Japan will be no different. 



Suzuka, which is arguably one of Vettel’s favourite tracks, plays home to this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix, where the defending champion is bidding to etch his name in the Formula One record books for a fourth time as champion. In doing so he will become the youngest driver in history to reach that mark.  



The 26-year-old will retain his crown—with four races to spare—if he wins and Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso, who sits 77 points back in second place, fails to finish in the top eight. And if we can go by form and history, then a Vettel victory looks likely. 

The man from Heppenheim has started on pole in his four appearances at Suzuka, winning on three of those occasions, and was the fastest during Friday’s second practice session. 

If Vettel is successful in Japan, he will become just the fifth driver in history to win five consecutive races after his victories in Belgium, Italy, Singapore and Korea, according to the Daily Mail. 

The Japanese track, which F1 Fanatic calls one of the toughest of the year in terms of wear rate, will likely suit Red Bull. Speaking to Sky Sports, Vettel said: 

The car balance is decent, but I think we can still improve. Looking after the tyres will be important here, especially during the race. The car works fine at the moment, but we need to make sure we set it up the right way. It's good to see we are up there today, but it's not always so important; we need to step up our game for tomorrow, as Mercedes will be strong in qualifying.
