Former F1 driver Alex Wurz has admitted he expects Sebastian Vettel to stroll now to his fourth drivers’ title.<\/p>\n
Many others think Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton, the dominant winner of the last grand prix in Hungary and back on pole in Belgium, could mount a real challenge to Red Bull rival Vettel’s reign in the second half of the season.<\/p>\n
But when asked by Speed Week what he is expecting from the last nine races of 2013, Austrian Wurz admitted: “An early world title for Vettel.”<\/p>\n
Asked if yet another championship for Red Bull and Vettel is really what F1 needs, Wurz added: “It depends on your perspective.<\/p>\n
“If you take a step back, I think it’s good because it shows that despite everything, formula one is still a sport, where the best one wins, even if it’s early.<\/p>\n
“For me it’s good because it means formula one is a pure sport that is not influenced artificially,” said 39-year-old Wurz, who last raced for Williams in 2007.<\/p>\n
