Sebastian Vettel has become Formula One double world champion after finishing third place at the Japanese Grand Prix in Suzuka, Japan. All Vettel has to do is to add a single point in Japan or in all remaining Grand Prix this year to secure the back-to-back championship. He finished 3rd in Japan and gained 15 points, making it impossible for McLaren’s Jenson Button to catch up.

Slalom anyone? What is Slalom anyway?
Slalom is a type of motorsports held in a closed circuit usually 800 meters to 1,200 meters in length. It is a time and maneuverability event that uses pylons and gates to determine the course and each of the participants is timed separately. This event is run on flat grounds or open space using a single track or course for all participants. Each driver burns the track all by himself. The driver with the fastest time wins the event.
