Reminder: How Vettel can win title in America

Reminder: How Vettel can win title in America

18 November 2012
2012 American Formula 1 Grand Prix: Sunday starting grid

This afternoon’s US Grand Prix promises to be a thriller. There has already been the fair share of pre-race excitement, with Fernando Alonso moving up to seventh on the grid as Ferrari purposely encouraged a five-place gearbox penalty for Felipe Massa. Despite that, Sebastian Vettel will be World Champion if he and Alonso finish where they start…

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This is how Vettel can claim a third World Championship this afternoon:

- By winning the race with Alonso fifth or lower
- By finishing second with Alonso ninth or lower
- By finishing third with Alonso 11th or lower
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Constructors’ Championship is more clear-cut and Red Bull Racing is expected to become the first team in F1 history to clinch its first three titles consecutively.
