2013 F1 Season
19 races · Red Bull RB9
The 2013 season closed Red Bull's era of dominance with Sebastian Vettel's most emphatic display. After a competitive start, the German and the RB9 found a level of form simply out of reach for the rest.
Vettel strung together the final nine races of the year consecutively, an unprecedented streak in the modern era, and posted thirteen wins to claim his fourth straight world title aged just 26, firmly entering the debate of the all-time greats.
The year also produced the "Multi-21" controversy in Singapore, when Vettel disobeyed the team order to hold position and passed team-mate Mark Webber to steal the win, straining an already broken relationship. It would be the last title before the arrival of the hybrid era.

"Singapore 2013: Vettel ignores "Multi-21" and passes Webber — the most controversial moment of the year."
What if 2013 had been raced 100 times?
