Hello and welcome back to the WTF1 podcast. We are here that time when edition to talk about when

Sebastian Vettel won nine consecutive races at the end of the 2013 season. Now it's not just me talking

to myself. I've got too much more knowledgeable people in this conversation. One of which, the WTF1

founder Tom Bellingham. I didn't actually say that you were the WTF1 founder last time, Tommy,

and that was the top comment in our podcast. So there you go. You confused a lot. You confused a lot

of people. And Katie Ferman, who has also been founded, did by Tommy. You are technically the

wrong family. I am his child. Yeah, we are children of Tommy. Katie is obviously the WTF1 editor.

And welcome guys. We're going to talk about a dominant era of Formula One Red Bull smash in it.

And let's start with the 2013 season of course. What was F1 like back then? Should we cast

our minds? Get a little crystal ball, but go backwards rather than forwards.

People clearly, Mercedes is so dominant now that people clearly want us to talk about an era

where someone else was dominant. But this was Sebastian Vettel in Red Bull. So yeah, last year of

the V8s, which people still miss a lot, I guess. And 2013 was Vettel's last World Championship

spoiler. And yeah, he was, he'd just recently become the youngest ever three time World Champion.

And it's one of those, one of those eras where I feel like it gets a bit of a bad rep for dominance,

but we had some amazing races. And at the end of the day, two of these, two of the three

titles before going into the season had gone down to the wire and been truly epic. So I think

it's a lot closer than people think this year, even it was dominated. Yeah, we all watched the 2013

season as it unfolded. And as a fan, then I mean, pretty much like fans now. It was quite frustrating

seeing the same person win every, what felt like every single race. But looking back actually,

it was a really good season. And one that I feel is kind of underappreciated a bit,

despite the fact that Serb just took the win with everything, every single race in the end of the season.
