The great young one: how many breaking records will he yet accomplish?

Sebastian Vettel has achieved a level of greatness that few 25-year-old racecar drivers can fathom. The young German stunned the world by becoming the youngest three-time world champion, but Vettel’s greatness did not begin there.

      <description><![CDATA[Dec.31 (GMM)  Charlie Whiting, the highest ranking FIA official at grands prix, is sure formula one will not miss the sound of F1's current V8 engines.

For the past couple of decades, fans have been spoiled by the ear-splitting tones of normally aspirated V12, 10 and now 8-cylinder power plants.

But from 2014, the sport will sound more placid, as turbocharged and comparatively ... <a class="more" href="http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1-will-get-used-to-v6-engine-sounds-whiting/">Keep reading</a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Dec.31 (GMM)  The famous Brabham name could return to formula one.

Former triple world champion Sir Jack Brabham, an Australian who is now 86, founded his eponymous team in 1960 and it later raced under Bernie Ecclestone's stewardship.

In 2009, a German automotive supply company, Formtech, claimed it now controls the Brabham team name and filed an official entry for the 2010 F1 ... <a class="more" href="http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/brabham-name-could-return-to-f1/">Keep reading</a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[
Kimi Raikkonen was coming back to Formula 1 in 2012 after his post-Ferrari &quot;gardening leave&quot; for two full-seasons in WRC and even a short stint with NASCAR? How could he possibly still have the touch after being out of the loop for so long? We'd all seen what a long layoff had done for Michael Schumacher; surely Raikkonen wouldn't do better than the seven-time champion.

      <description><![CDATA[The Formula One season of 2012, fortunately, ended without any driver wounded. Now we can present the results of our 2012 F1 Crash World Championship without it sounding like a kind of black humor.

The scoring of the tournament awards points to the driver who hits another car knocking it out of the race. It does not matter whether the driver was at fault or not.

By mid-season, he had proved his speed with three podiums, but the 26-year-old also became the subject of intense criticism for repeat mistakes, culminating in his ultra-rare race ban following the ... <a class="more" href="http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/grosjean-wanted-first-win-at-all-costs/">Keep reading</a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[
An era has ended for the second time. The first ending left Formula One fans, teams, drivers, and even Michael Schumacher himself, wondering if the seven-time world champion still had something left in the tank. The second confirmed there was just a shadow of former greatness, a far cry from the man that won 91 grand prix and seven world titles.

      <description><![CDATA[Dec.28 (GMM)  Banning the use of the moveable rear wing innovation DRS on Friday and Saturday is a good move, Kimi Raikkonen has declared.

DRS was introduced in 2011 to make overtaking easier during grands prix.

But because the FIA feared that setup compromises would minimise the effectiveness of the system, it was decided that DRS could also be used during free practice and ... <a class="more" href="http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/drs-clampdown-sensible-raikkonen/">Keep reading</a>]]></description>
