Formula One World Champion Sebastian Vettel scored his seventh straight victory of the season with a dominant performance in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

According to Sky Sports, the only obstacle in Vettel's way was the presence of his Red Bull teammate Mark Webber on pole position, but the 26-year-old duly overcame him at the earliest available opportunity.

Webber trailed home half a minute behind, with Nico Rosberg claiming the final podium position for Mercedes ahead of Lotus's Romain Grosjean, and it's fair to say that both drivers enjoyed rather better fortunes than their respective teammates, the report said.

The German wrapped up his fourth straight title in India last weekend and while the end was rather less lofty seven days on, the means were just as impressive, the report added.
