Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel roared into history as Formula One's youngest four-time champion after he won the Indian Grand Prix on Sunday.

According to Sport24, the 26-year-old German becomes the youngest man to win four straight titles, with Juan Manuel Fangio and Michael Schumacher the only other drivers to achieve the feat.

He said over the team radio that it was an unbelievable day and the team had done it.

Vettel celebrated in uproarious fashion by spinning doughnuts in front of the grandstand, the report said.

He then stood on top of his Red Bull and saluted the crowd before bowing to his car in mock worship, the report added.

Despite teammate Mark Webber's retirement with a mechanical problem, Red Bull also sealed their fourth straight constructors' title in what has become an era of dominance, the report further said.
