Istanbul — Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel cruised to victory in the Turkish Grand Prix on Sunday, clinching his third win of the season ahead of teammate Mark Webber to extend his lead in the standings.The Formula One champion was never in trouble at Istanbul Park after starting from the pole for the fourth consecutive race and winning by a comfortable 8.8 seconds."Throughout this race we had this cushion and were able to act, rather than react," Vettel said. "We never really had anybody close behind, which would have been a different situation."The 23-year-old Vettel became F1's youngest champion last year and is an odds-on favorite to repeat as he already leads McLaren's Lewis Hamilton by 34 points and Webber by 38."I think the day you start to think you are unbeatable is the day you get beaten, for sure," Vettel said. "There is always someone, at some point, who teaches you a lesson, who gives you a hard time and beats you."
