Sebastian Vettel has secured his fourth race win in a row with victory in last weekend's Indian Formula One Grand Prix.
The result moves him 13 points clear of nearest title challenger Fernando Alonso at the head of the driver's championship, with Vettel marking the occasion by rubbishing rumours he has signed a pre-contract to move to Alonso's present employers Ferrari in 2014.
Vettel commented: "I want to get this straight – there's nothing to report and I'm very happy at Red Bull Racing."
The double F1 world champion said this latest victory moves him a step closer to his aim of becoming a three-times world champion.
However, he added there are still three races remaining and with a further 75 points up for grabs, the season is far from over.
Vettel now sits atop the leaderboard on 240 points, followed by Alonso (227) and nearest rival Kimi Raikkonen of Lotus way back on 173.
