Three-times Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel was greeted by fans as he and the rest of the Red Bull racing team returned to the team's factory in the UK on Tuesday (November 27).

Vettel clinched his third-successive world title at the Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday.

The 25-year-old German is only the third driver to win three consecutive world titles.

Vettel along with his Australian team mate Mark Webber had already helped Red Bull claim their third-successive constructor's championship at the U.S. Grand Prix the previous week.

On Monday (November 26) Vettel dampened speculation he is set to jump ship from Red Bull and join Ferrari in 2014 by saying he is "extremely committed" to the team.

The exact nature of Vettel's contract with Red Bull is unclear, but the German driver said he was tied to the constructor until the end of 2014.
