#OnThisDayInF1#OnThisDay 32 years ago in 1988 @ayrtonsenna secures his first of three WDC after winning the Japanese GP with @McLarenF1
Between them Senna and team-mate Prost won 15 of the 16 races, 11 of them were consecutive, which is still a record to this day!
Vettel is also the ONLY driver to have won the Indian GP. So much more to see from him as well, Iโm excited for what next season will bring ๐ 3/3
Watch his celebration from 2013๐๐ฝ๐ฅ

#OnThisDayInF1 7 years ago in 2013 Sebastian Vettel wins the Indian GP and clinches the WDC for the fourth time in a row with @redbullracing at only 26 years old!
With 13 wins that season it puts Vettel on par with Schumacher for the most wins in a season 1/3
Vettel also has the most ever consecutive wins ever in Formula 1 history by winning the final 9 races of this season. At the age of 26 makes him the youngest driver to win four WDC, Schu and Ham are next at the age of 32 then Prost 38 and Fangio 45. Thatโs truly impressive ๐ 2/3
#OnThisDayInF1 50 years ago in 1970, ๐ง๐ช Jacky Ickx wins the Mexican GP - the final race of the season for @ScuderiaFerrari with team-mate Clay Regazzoni coming second. Jacky came second that year in the championship with ๐ฆ๐น Jochen Rindt winning posthumously. ๐

#OnThisDayInF1 in 2006 Felipe Massa becomes the second Brazilian to win at their home race since Senna in 93, But it was Fernando Alonso who secured the championship that year. Schumacher retired from formula 1 after this race, to return later in 2010.
Then the inevitable happened, With both cars making contact at the first corner & going off into a cloud of dust it was like Dรฉjร vu, both drivers out of the race and Senna knew if Alain didnโt finish the race that he would then win the championship. ๐๐๐ฝ

#OnThisDayInF1 in 1990. Ayrton Senna wins the world drivers championship with one of the most controversial races in F1 history as Senna and Prost go head-to-head. After having his request denied to move pole position to the clean side of the track, Senna was furious. 1/2
