20 October 2009Like Gilles Villeneuve in the past, Sebastian Vettel has commented that the runner-up spot would not mean a lot in this year's World Championship as finishing second means one is the 'first loser'.

With Red Bull's Vettel and Brawn's Rubens Barrichello having lost out in this year's title race to Britain's Jenson Button, the German and Brazilian will still go head-to-head for second overall at the final round in Abu Dhabi next weekend.
"Second is the first loser," Vettel smiled. "I'll just try and do my best in Abu Dhabi; obviously the target is to win, as we have a winning car, but I don't really care about second or third place."
Whatever the outcome, Sebastian has surpassed his best finishing position to date after ending his first full season 8th for Toro Rosso last year.
