Sebastian Vettel F1 2013

With three F1 World Drivers titles under his belt now, the German Red Bull driver is the man to catch heading into the 2013 season. Since his first full season in Formula One back in 2008 when he finished eighth, it has been nothing but an upwards swing for him. He improved to finish 2nd in the 2009 season and then rattled off championship winning seasons in 2010 through 2012. So the German will be back to defend his title again this year and it may take some brave wagers to go against him. Not only does Vettel have the clear talent, which is even still a bit rough around the edges, but he has the strongest team in Formula One behind. That surely is a potent combination which will push him close to yet another title, and it is the reason why he is starting off the new season as outright favourite to win.

The 2012 season was good from Vettel, even though he really saved his best for the second half of the season. In 2011, he cruised to eleven wins from the 19 races on the season and while he was nowhere near that mark, he still rattled off five wins. The performances which he put in over the latter half of the 2012 was immense. It followed a slow start to the season for Red Bull in which they were clambering with Ferrari, Lotus and McLaren to get a foothold. Slowly but surely though, they turned the screw and Vettel was right there to deliver. The huge benefit is that he has the aggressive driving style and the most forward thinking team behind him. No-one adapts themselves better during a season than Red Bull do and it could be what puts Vettel at the top of the pile again.

Little surprise that Sebastian Vettel is outright favourite to sweep another world crown for himself, but ahead of the 2013 season, which starts at the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on March 17th, there was still some positive general value in Vettel, at around 11/8, which was probably worth jumping all over. He has proven time and time again to have strengths all over the world, on whatever type of track he ends up on. The Red Bulls have shown a bit of favoritism to circuits with fast cornering though. For the projected individual success of Sebastian Vettel 2013F1 betting, you can look to where he has had multiple wins before. He has delivered on more than one occasion at Malaysia, Italy, Singapore, Korea, Japan, India and Abu Dhabi.

See the trend there? He was very strong over the latter half of the season in the Asian swing of the F1 season. That is what got him to his third world title in 2012 and look for big performances from him again in those races. The season and the new car will be well settled down by then. In each of the past three seasons, Vettel has won at least five races in each year. That is a pretty high and constant return. That is a quarter of the season's races all being won by one driver. It is a high target to hit again, but this is Vettel and you would expect him to be back around that mark. Little value at 1/3 in him finishing in the top three at the end of the season, but he will likely guide Red Bull to another F1 Constructors Championship, with the team at a general price of Evens to return to the title again.
