“It was for sure not an easy season and even though people on the outside thought we had it in our hands, I think it was difficult. It was a tough season for me personally, to receive boos even though we haven't done anything wrong; to overcome that and give the right answer on the track and get acceptance makes me very proud. To join people like Prost, Fangio and Michael is unbelievable. I think this is one of the best days in my life so far. There are so many people that I have to thank; I've always tried to listen and learn and it's incredible to race some of the best drivers in the world,” said Sebastien Vettel of his win.
