Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner believes Formula 1 has yet to see the best of Sebastian Vettel.
This is despite the German driver dominating the final half of 2013 and winning his fourth title with three races to spare.
Horner thinks the 26-year-old has not yet reached his peak. He told AUTOSPORT: "I don't think he can quite believe what he has achieved.
"To have nine consecutive victories in one season, and to have been the only driver since July to have won a grand prix is quite outstanding.
"The manner in which he has won as well has been so dominant. We have really seen him come of age this year, and I have said it before that he will continue to improve. We have yet to see the best of him, but I think we are starting to see that now."
Despite Vettel being an important part of Red Bull's incredible season, Horner emphasised the part the whole team has played in taking another championship double.
"We have worked closer, harder, and more effectively than any year," he continued.
"We are always looking inwardly and Adrian [Newey] and the technical team have done a brilliant job.
"But all of the departments, all of the support, all of the unsung heroes that you don't get to see or hear about, they have all gone that extra yard and that is what has helped us achieve this kind of result."
