    WHAT a difference a year makes.

    This time last year, Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel was on top of the world. He was on the cusp of wrapping up his third consecutive race for the season at the Singapore Grand Prix on his way to a record nine-race winning streak.

    At the end of 2013, the young German's tally was a total of 13 wins out of 19 races and he would be crowned F1 World Champion for the fourth straight year. Not in 2014 though. Winless so far this season and languishing behind his rookie teammate who has stood on the top step of the podium three times, he is currently in sixth position.
