Vettel Looks to Move Ahead at Spanish GP

PARIS (AP) - As the Formula One world championship heads into Europe, three-time defending champion Sebastian Vettel can move ahead of rivals in the title race at the Spanish Grand Prix.

Of those, only Kimi Raikkonen has shown true consistency with a win and two second-place finishes and the Finn sits 10 points behind Vettel after four races.

But no one else is close, which is a major contrast to last year's wide-open championship when four drivers were within 10 points of Vettel coming into Europe.

Vettel is still short of his 2011 form - when he had 93 points after winning three of the first four GPs - but he's is notoriously hard to stop once he builds momentum.
