Sebastian Vettel became the 2010 Formula One world champion on Sunday after one of the most exciting Grand Prix seasons ever.

I followed F1 since I was a kid and this years title battle was epic. After watching British drivers crowned World Champion in 2008 and 2009 I wanted to see Australian driver, Mark Webber take the title this year, but in the end it was not to be. Instead his German Red Bull Racing team mate became the youngest ever F1 World Champion at just 23 years old. Certainly we can expect to see Vettel take more titles in what, I’m sure, will be a glittering career, but for now I just thought I would tip my hat to ‘Seb’ and say well done to him on taking the title.

I’m a passionate follower of Grand Prix racing and the end of the season always feels a little like the end of a party to me. When I was a kid the wait for the new season to begin seemed like a lifetime, these days though, I’m a little more patient. The arrival of 2011 can take it’s time, but there’s every reason to believe that next years Formula One season will be every bit as good as this years, and who knows, maybe it will be even better.
