Red Bull Q&A: Vettel, Horner and Newey on the team's fourth straight title double.


The World Champions' 'dream team' look back on the season's highs and lows, the challenge of staying on top, future plans and lots more


'Two weeks on from securing the 2013 Drivers' Championship in India, and three days after his seventh race win in succession at the Abu Dhabi GP, Sebastian Vettel on Wednesday returned to Red Bull's Milton Keynes F1 headquarters for the first time as a four-times World Champion' reported by Sky News

'Vettel on...his Red Bull homecoming'

"I've only just arrived so I haven't seen the rest of the factory yet, but surely it's very nice to come here. Obviously after India we had the race in Abu Dhabi and I'm looking forward to actually seeing the people, have a little chat and answer questions."
Vettel went on to say "It has to be the German Grand Prix. I've been trying very hard the last couple of years and finally succeeded. It felt great. It was a tight race, I think the Lotus was a little bit quicker than us on Sunday but we managed to stay ahead and win."

'Vettel on...Horner'

"I'm not here to blow smoke up his a***, but he's done a very good job! I don't think he's the typical leader if you think about the leader of a big company with the boss sitting somewhere in the fancy office high above everybody else and behaving like an idiot. He's a very humble guy, the team respects that. The guys always talk to him because he's always available. Obviously he himself has a racing background, has raced himself, so he has been on the other side of well. He has to deal with much more politics than we can imagine so sometimes you wonder why you don't decide one or another way, things take time. It's complicated, obviously there is a lot of people working here and many sorts of problems you have to deal with and then he always finds the best compromise that suits everyone. But he makes no compromises when it comes to the performance of the car."
