Red Bull Motor Sports Racing

I did not get off to a very fast start this morning, since the first part of the special stage was quite tough, with all the dunes and all those spectators. Moreover, the first special of the Dakar is always more challenging, since you need to find your focus on the race, and the new GPS is somewhat smaller, so I really was very careful. Fortunately, the special's last 20 kilometers were very fast and I was able to drive much more aggressively.

Sebastian Vettel described his victory in the Indian Grand Prix as a "fantastic performance" and a "very smooth race". Vettel led every lap of the race and set the fastest lap on his way to victory to complete a perfect weekend having qualified on pole position. With Jenson Button never able to close within less than 2.5 seconds Vettel never looked seriously troubled, and he admitted that the only slight concern he had during the grand prix was the amount by which his lead was cut around the pit stops. "It's obviously a very good race for us," Vettel said.
"I enjoyed the time in the lead very much, obviously they had a little bit of a fight with Jenson in the distance who was always about four seconds (back). Strangely he kept closing in around the pit stops. I don't know why, I was pushing very hard in to the box and out of the box, but we seemed to lose a little bit there so we need to understand.

"But on circuit it was obviously crucial to manage the tyres, make sure that you have enough of them at the end.
So all in all it was a very smooth race, the car was very well balanced; I felt even a little bit more confident on the hard tyres on the end. But overall a fantastic performance." Vettel also said that he was struggling to enjoy the victory as much as usual in the wake of the recent accidents that claimed the lives of Dan Wheldon and Marco Simoncelli. "To be honest with you it's a little bit mixed emotions. On the one hand I'm very happy, it's the first grand prix in India and I'm very proud to be the first winner, and I think we can be as a team. But on the other hand, looking back at last weekend we lost two of our mates. I didn't know Dan Wheldon but obviously he was a big name in motorsport. I got to know Marco Simoncelli this year, and obviously our thoughts are with them.
Yes we are ready to take certain risks when we jump in to the car but we obviously pray that every time nothing happens, but sometimes we get reminded and it's the last thing that we want to see."

After becoming a double world champion at the Japanese Grand Prix, Sebastian Vettel insisted there is no secret to Red Bull's success, just a very good team. Vettel finished third at Suzuka to ensure he took his second title with four races remaining. After a dominant year for Red Bull, in which Vettel took 12 pole positions and nine victories, he gave full credit to his team. "There is no secret, it's step-by-step," Vettel said. "I think in a way the hardest thing, after winning the title last year when it was so close and so exciting, was to go out and do it again, and even though you know how to do, it doesn't allow you to make all these little steps. I could not have got close to this alone, so I needed all the support I could get, from the team, from Mark [Webber] and from everyone outside the team working for me.



It's as confusing as the first one I have to say. So it's hard to find the right words." He said taking the title at Suzuka, the scene of several championship deciders down the years, was also very special. "It's phenomenal, especially next to the strong result again today," he added. "To win the championship here is just fantastic. There are lots of things that you want to say but you can't remember all of them. I'm just so, so thankful to everyone in the team. We've got so many people here at the track, but also in Milton Keynes working day-in-day out every day, pushing hard to build those to cars to fight for the points and also fight for the championship. We find ourselves in a very, very strong position and it's great to achieve the results we set for ourselves going into this year already."

Red Bull Teka KTM’s Ken Roczen on Sunday sealed the MX2 World championship title with one clear round in hand. The 17-year old talent was in perfect form when he attacked the track at Gaildorf, Germany in the GP of Europe. Urged on by thousands of loyal fans and the entire KTM factory team Roczen settled the issue after the second moto to pick up his first senior world championship title but was still shadowed by his teammate and toughest competitor Jeffrey Herlings. With the victory, Roczen, widely recognized as one of the hottest MX properties around and still only 17, became Germany’s first motocross champion in 40 years and his home crowd gave him a reception that he will long remember. Roczen signed with the Red Bull Teka KTM Factory Team in January 2011. Shortly after he grabbed plenty of attention riding AMA Supercross Lites in the West Coast series in the USA.




Ken, on a fast learning curve in the highly competitive series even secured his first SX podium towards the end of the season. He even had a couple of impressive outings on the KTM 350 SX-F in the open class. A favorite throughout the world championship season, Roczen started strongly, then overcame a mid season lapse to settle down to a string of unassailable victories in the second half that allowed him to put his stamp firmly on the title.
