Why? The logic flowed as follows: that Red Bull would build a car even quicker and more reliable than last year's rocketship, while its young pilot would this year marry greater experience (and therefore judgement) to his speed. But sentiment should not be the overriding factor when making a big decision and the biggest at the start of 2010 - who is actually going to win? - saw me backing the German. Speaking as someone who will always plump for the underdog if he can help it, Vettel wasn't my favourite driver from within his own team, let alone on the grid. At the end of a season defined more than anything else by the inability of any of its main protagonists to steal a march, perhaps it's too much to ask for more of the same in 2011? Vettel's success means there'll be a record-equalling five world champions on the grid next year. The year might have been competitive in the extreme but Red Bull still ended it with a clean sweep, having also scooped the constructors' title with their Renault-powered RB6.
