The 2011 Formula One season sounds like a broken record. Vettel takes pole, Vettel wins the race. It’s happened more often than not this season and the first ever Indian Grand Prix was no different. World Champion Sebastian Vettel took his 13th pole of the season and is also close to equalling the record for most wins in a season (13). The man is simply unstoppable at the moment. The only other real talking point from the Indian GP was the fact that Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa collided yet again. It was the sixth indcident between the McLaren and Ferrari racers during the 2011 season.
