Have some Vettel stats (and spoilers) after the break.
To beat his points record in 2011, he needs to wins every race from here on out with 25 points. That record was 392 points in 1 season.
If Sebastian Vettel wins 2 more races, and Alonso gets no points for those 2 races, Seb can quit the season and its remaining 4 races and still be the champion, even if Alonso gets 25 points for the remaining 4 races. This means that Alonso's only shot at winning the season is getting 10 points in the next two races that Seb wins, and then
tie Seb up in a basement until the end of the season.
That minimum number of races that Seb needs to win (2) means he only has to have a 33% win rate for the rest of the season. He currently has a 54% win rate.
Sebastian Vettel has almost twice the points of his teammate, and just needs 1 more win to exceed double the points.
He has more points right now than all of the drivers below 8th place, combined.
To drive the point home, Mr. Vettel has twin popped collars in the above photo. According to Adrian Newey, these collars provide significant downforce without adding drag.

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
What? I thought that's what his fans do. That's all you hear as soon as he opens his mouth in post-race interviews. Haters gonna hate, no question, but perhaps he should also stop sounding like a talking press release for once.

I just think he's a simple, if unoffensive person (acting almost all of the time) who just really fucking loves winning. The guy was practically trained to become the 'perfect' F1 star. If he had Kimi's personality though, I'd love him a lot more.

I can only say "This" to this. So, this.
(Would love to see him in a less dominant car too, had to add)

Glad to see Kimi podium, especially from 13th. And post race to see Alonso giving Webber a ride back on top of his Ferarri was a nice show of sportsmanship. I do hate Vettel. Not just because he wins all the time (boring racing, at least it's nice that NBC stops showing him) but because he seems like a mega-douche.

I'm a masochistic Vettel fan. I love him, but I hate myself for loving him, and I love hating myself.

I'll just leave this here.
