Sebastian Vettel became the first man ever to win eight grands prix in a row in a single season after taking a dominant victory in the US Grand Prix in Austin, Texas.

It was Vettel’s first win on US soil after making his F1 debut in America at Indianapolis in 2007.

And should he take a ninth successive victory in Brazil he will match Alberto Ascari’s long-standing record of nine successive F1 race wins.

Vettel held his pole advantage into the opening corner and never looked back, reclaiming his advantage after his one and only pit stop to win from Romain Grosjean and teammate Mark Webber who secured his 40th podium.

The now customary victory donuts followed before Vettel saluted his team after his 38th career F1 win. “I’m speechless. We have to remember these days as they won’t last forever,” said the race winner.

Lewis Hamilton held off a late charge from Fernando Alonso to finish fourth but the Spaniard sealed second in the drivers’ standings with one race remaining.

The in-demand Nico Hulkenberg continued his fine run of form by finishing sixth and McLaren may be wondering if they have been to hasty in letting Sergio Perez go as the Mexican finished seventh ahead of Valtteri Bottas, Nico Rosberg and teammate Jenson Button.
