Abu Dhabi: Germany's Sebastian Vettel sobbed with joy after becoming Formula One's youngest world champion on Sunday with a pole to flag victory in the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
The 23-year-old Red Bull driver lapped up the pressure under the Yas Marina floodlights to chalk up his fifth win of the season while Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, the pre-race favourite for a third title, struggled home seventh.
Vettel, adding the drivers' crown to the constructors' championship won the previous weekend in Brazil, ended up with 256 points to Alonso's 252.
