GREATER NOIDA, India -- He drives with the poise of a seasoned veteran but Red Bulls Sebastian Vettel says hes still too young to appreciate his fourth straight Formula One championship title. cheap china jerseys . Starting from pole, the 26-year-old Vettel turned in a trademark clinical performance to win the Indian Grand Prix on Sunday and join F1 greats Juan Manuel Fangio and Michael Schumacher as just the third driver to win four consecutive championships. The only other driver to win four titles was Alain Prost. Vettel is also the youngest four-time world champion by eight years. "Im way too young to understand what it means," he said of his achievement. "I might be 60 one day, maybe then I will understand, but nobody cares anymore. I care. Its difficult to realize something that nobody can take away from you basically." As in the past two years in India, Vettel won from pole position, finishing almost 30 seconds ahead of Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg in second, with Romain Grosjean taking his second straight third for Lotus after starting from 17th on the grid. "Youve won it in style," an elated Red Bull team principal Christian Horner told Vettel over the car radio immediately after the race. "Brilliant stuff. Youve joined the greats." After taking the checkered flag, Vettel performed several donuts on the track before climbing from his car, acknowledging the crowd and kneeling with his head bowed to the track. He then climbed the pit lane fence to embrace members of his team. Vettel was later reprimanded and Red Bull fined 25,000 euros ($34, 500) by race stewards for the display of exuberance and failing to "proceed directly from the circuit to the post-race parc ferme (secure area) without delay." The penalties are unlikely to dampen the celebrations. "Im overwhelmed, dont know what to say," Vettel said immediately after the race. "It is one of the best days of my life. With Vettels win, Red Bull also claimed its fourth straight constructors title, despite losing Mark Webber to mechanical problems while in second place. Ferraris Felipe Massa was fourth with teammate Fernando Alonso finishing a disappointing 11th. "Today is the day to congratulate (Vettel) and for him to enjoy the championship," Alonso said, who is 115 points behind the Red Bull driver in second place in the standings with three races remaining. Vettel has now won 10 races this season, including the last six. A clearly emotional Vettel, taking occasional swigs from his celebratory magnum of champagne, thanked his team and his family in a post-race media conference. He spoke of his respect for the Indian people and rivals including Alonso, Lewis Hamilton and Webber. "To win four titles, I dont know, its just a big number you know?" Vettel said. "Fangio put the number of five titles and everybody appreciated him as the best driver in the world. Michael (Schumacher) came along ... its incredible that one guy managed to score more championships (seven) than (Fangio) did." Starting on the quick but fragile soft tires, Vettel lasted just one lap before switching to the medium compounds, emerging from the pit lane in 17th place. Vettel wove his way back toward the front, gradually narrowing the gap and passing McLaren driver Sergio Perez on the 22nd lap to move into second behind Webber. Webber eventually entered the pits for his first tire change to soft tires on the 29th lap and Vettel made his second and last stop three laps later to new medium tires, returning to the track just over eight seconds behind Webber. When Webber switched back to medium tires two laps later, he effectively handed the race to Vettel. Red Bull then ordered a stunned Webber to stop while in second place on the 42nd lap due to a problem with his cars alternator. "Disappointing, but theres not much I can do," Webber said. "There was something wrong with the car, so we had to stop straight away." With the Australian out, the race became a tussle for the lesser podium places, with pacesetting Rosberg passing Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen for second on the closing laps before Grosjean capped a dogged race by defying the odds and reaching the podium after being eliminated in the first qualifying session Saturday. "I would not have bet a penny on me being on the podium today," Grosjean said. "But the car came back. " Vettel meanwhile was struggling to come to terms with the enormity of his achievement. "It was a difficult emotion to cross the line and feel happy all of a sudden because youre in a rhythm, you know what youre doing, you have a routine," he said. "I think it takes time to understand what happened." nfl jerseys china .ca. Kerry, I appreciate your earlier comments on Torontos handling of the Vanek goal, and Im sure youve seen the Howie Rose-Kris King interview by now. wholesale nfl jerseys . -- Mike McCarthy never put a whole lot of stock in a perfect season, except as a means of gaining home-field advantage and setting the Green Bay Packers up for another Super Bowl run. http://www.cheapjerseyfromchina.us.com/ . -- Hamilton Tiger-Cats punter Josh Bartel wasnt sure what to expect in his first CFL season. cheap jerseys from china . The matchup between the top two rushers in the NFL didnt disappoint. The difference was Seattles rookie QB. Lynch ran for 124 yards and a touchdown, Wilson threw three first-half touchdown passes, and the Seahawks overcame 182 yards by Peterson in a 30-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday that could hold greater importance later in the season. cheap jerseys china . As a sprawling list of 70 players reported for medicals with the Toronto Maple Leafs on Friday morning, coach Ron Wilson made it clear that many of them shouldnt get too comfortable.Reduced to its simplest, the NFL playoff races come down to this: Cincinnati, Denver, Dallas and the New York Giants must win. Then it gets complicated, because the Giants host the Cowboys in prime time, and the loser is out. Even that, though, is easy to decipher compared to the chase for the final AFC wild card. Just the way the NFL wants it. "With this game with the Cowboys, it is a very exciting, very, very historical week for our players and franchise," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. "The setting is incredible." As it will be at Paul Brown Stadium, which actually is sold out. The Bengals, who get the other AFC wild card with a victory, appealed to their fans to fill the stadium and, by Wednesday, all the tickets were gone. "Just to have everyone here in Cincinnati wanting to come out for this game, I think thats something weve been wanting and been trying to get for a while," quarterback Andy Dalton said. "Im just happy everybody responded to it. Its going to be a fun atmosphere, and were excited about it." As for the playoff primer, try this: If Denver wins at home against Kansas City, the AFC West belongs to the Broncos. If the Chiefs win, then the Raiders can grab the division with a home victory against San Diego. Denver gets the spot regardless if the Raiders lose. But Oakland also has a chance for a wild card, while Denver doesnt. Baltimore gets the AFC North crown by beating Cincinnati. A Ravens loss opens the door for Pittsburgh to win the division with a win at Cleveland. Both the Steelers and Ravens already own at least a wild card. NFC West winner San Francisco earns a first-round bye if it wins at lowly St. Louis. A loss would allow New Orleans, the NFC South champion, to get the bye by beating Carolina. Detroit and Atlanta are the NFC wild cards. With a victory over Buffalo, AFC East champ New England will get home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. Baltimore or Pittsburgh still have a shot at that if the Patriots fall. Houston has won the AFC South. Now, take a deep breath, and heres what can happen in the race for the second AFC wild card if the Bengals lose to Baltimore. Cincinnati still gets it if the Jets and Oakland lose, or the Jets and Denver lose. Oakland moves in by winning while Denver wins, and having the Titans lose along with the Bengals, or by having the Jets win while Cincinnati loses. The Jets are in with a win and defeats for the Bengals, Titans and either the Raiders or Broncos. Tennessee has three scenarios, all involving a victory by the Titans and a loss by the Bengals. They also need a Jets win and a loss by either Denver or Oakland, or a Jets loss and wins by both the Broncos and Raiders. OK, exhale. Kansas City (6-9) at Denver (8-7) San Diego (7-8) at Oakland (8-7) The Wild West, AFC style, where no team is feared and the division winner will be an underdog in the first round of the post-season to either the Ravens or Steelers. Denver has rallied from a 2-5 record as Tim Tebow revitalized the franchise with his late-game heroics. Doing it again against a Kansas City team eager to make a case for keeping interim coach Romeo Crennel will be difficult, especially with Kyle Orton, the man Tebow displaced who is now the Chiefs quarterback. "The focus should be on the Chiefs and Broncos. Forget about all that jibber-jabber. Lets give the fans what they want to see and lets compete and may the best man win." Broncos safety Raheem Moore on the Orton-Tebow hoopla. Oakland dropped three straight before an overtime win at Kansas City last week kept it alive. Baltimore (11-4) at Cincinnati (9-6) Pittsburgh (11-4) at Cleveland (4-11) The Ravens won all eight home games this year, but they have been mediocre on the road -- although Baltimore beat the best team it faced away from home, Pittsburgh. That win is the difference in the division right now. "Its about us, man," Ravens defensive end Cory Redding said. "Its not about them. We need to get this win so we can get what were looking for." Cincinnatis record has been built by beating the lesser opponents; all six losses have come against winning teams or contenders. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin must decide whether to give quarterback Ben Roethlisbergers sprained left ankle another week to mend. Charlie Batch handled the team nicely in a win over St. Louis last week, and Cleveland, despite being an arch rival, is in the Rams class this year. Dallas (8-7) at New York Giants (8-7) Washington (5-10) at Philadelphia (7-8) Three weeks ago,, the Giants broke a four-game slide by rallying to beat the Cowboys. cheap jerseys. That slump scrambled what was a division runaway, and now its winner take all at the Meadowlands. Neither team has been much on defence, except for rushing the passer. The big edge might belong to the Giants, and not because they are home, where they are 3-4 this season -- not counting their "road" victory over the Jets last week. While Eli Manning has had a Pro Bowl season, Tony Romo has been up and down, and has a banged-up right hand that could affect his passes. Preseason division favourite Philadelphia finishes off a flop of a season hoping to at least get to .500 with a three-game winning streak. San Francisco (12-3) at St. Louis (2-13) Seattle (7-8) at Arizona (7-8) The intrigue in St. Louis is minimal concerning the 49ers, who dont deserve the bye if they cant beat the awful Rams. Should St. Louis lose, it could "earn" the No. 1 overall draft choice for the second time in three years. Indianapolis would have to lose at Jacksonville, as well. Rams quarterback Sam Bradford has missed the last five games with a high left ankle sprain and was not optimistic he could go this week. Seattle won the NFC West a year ago with a 7-9 record, yet even by going 8-8 would be an also-ran now. Tailback Marshawn Lynch has scored a TD in 11 successive games. Carolina (6-9) at New Orleans (12-3) Tampa Bay (4-11) at Atlanta (9-6) Now that Drew Brees has broken Dan Marinos 27-year-old record for yards passing in a season, he might see someone else walk off with the mark. If the 49ers win earlier as expected, New Orleans game becomes meaningless and Brees could be rested for the playoffs. In that case, Tom Brady, who is 190 yards behind Brees, could get the record because the Patriots have incentive no matter what. "What we have to do is keep playing," Saints coach Sean Payton said. "The playoffs are close. How do we put ourselves in the best position to play well and put ourselves in an opportunity to win a championship? Thats not always what is popular." To avoid a likely return trip to the Superdome, where they were routed on Monday night, the Falcons need a win and a Detroit loss. Detroit (10-5) at Green Bay (14-1) Chicago (7-8) at Minnesota (3-12) Back in the post-season for the first time since 1999, the Lions actually are favoured at Lambeau Field. That says it all: the bookmakers expect the defending champion Packers to rest key personnel. Green Bay has won 11 of the last 12 against Detroit, hardly that special considering how everyone in the NFC North slammed around the Lions for a decade. But with the way Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh stomped on Packers guard Evan Dietrich-Smith on the American Thanksgiving Day, drawing a two-game suspension, this wont be completely tame. Injuries destroyed the Bears season and severely struck Minnesota last week when star tailback Adrian Peterson tore left knee ligaments. Vikings defensive end Jared Allen leads the league with 18 1/2 sacks, four short of the NFL record. Tennessee (8-7) at Houston (10-5) Indianapolis (2-13) at Jacksonville (4-11) Two teams really care about these games, Tennessee and Indy. The Titans have had a nice turnaround year in their first season under coach Mike Munchak, and have done it with only a modest contribution from their best offensive player, running back Chris Johnson. They will rue losing to the 0-13 Colts should they fall one win short of the playoffs. As for the Colts, while their fan base wants them to get lucky -- as in the chance to draft Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck -- the players and coaches say all the right things about wanting to finish with a three-game winning streak. Buffalo (6-9) at New England (12-3) New York Jets (8-7) at Miami (5-10) For all the criticism of the Patriots weak defence and with all the doubts that they match up with their previous AFC East winners, they will finish with 13 wins, only one behind last years supposed powerhouse, if they take down the Bills. The emergence of Pro Bowl tight end Rob Gronkowski to go with the always-reliable pass-catching machine Wes Welker has helped Brady get close to Marinos, uh, Brees record. Miami linebacker Jason Taylor has his farewell game against a team he played for in 2010, yet was always its most-hated rival during his two previous stints with the Dolphins. No question the Dolphins would get supreme satisfaction out of ending the Jets playoff hopes, slim as they are. cheap jerseys ' ' '
