Vettel secures Red Bull maiden win
Sebastian Vettel is the new second favourite for the Formula One drivers' championship after securing Red Bull's first Grand Prix victory.The German had started the race in pole position and held on in treacherous conditions in China being followed over the line by team-mate Mark Webber. Boyle Sports now rates Vettel at 5/2 to lift the trophy, with leader Jenson Button remaining the favourite after securing a podium finish in Shanghai.The Brit started from fifth place for Brawn GP and vied for second place with Webber throughout, but ultimately had to settle for third after winning the opening two races of the season.Vettel has now targeted further improvement from Red Bull, aiming to see them become Formula One's strongest outfit, stating: "We will try and stay on top and make the final step to be the best team on the grid."The 21-year-old drove for sister team Toro Rosso last year, also picking up their first victory.
