The reigning World Champ has proven to be almost unbeatable this season, only losing out on victory on two occasions. Both were to McLaren drivers - and one of those losses, Canada, was through a mistake of his own.With six victories to his credit, the latest which he achieved in Valencia on Sunday afternoon, the Red Bull driver is holding a commanding 77-point lead over Jenson Button and his own team-mate Mark Webber.
Vettel, though, is refusing to get carried away, urging his team to "stay hungry."
"I'm not looking at the gap. Obviously the title is the target but we'll take it step by step," he said.
"If we have the chance to win, we'll take it because the day might come when we struggle, when we are only good enough for third.
"It's still a long way to go.
"We have to keep doing what we do, stay hungry, wanting to win the races and become better."
As for his victory around the Valencia street circuit on Sunday, the German says that while it may have appeared a boring race to those watching, for him it was an exciting 57 laps.
"I enjoyed it very much. Every single lap its between you and the car," he said.
""For some reason I enjoy this track, even though we maybe think it doesn't suit our car because there are no 100 percent fast corner.
"I'm very happy."
Meanwhile, Red Bull team boss Christian Horner insisted the race was a lot closer than it looked.
"Sebastian really enjoyed his afternoon, it was a fantastic race - he got it right from start to finish.
"It was tight with Alonso throughout. It wasn't as easy as it looked."
