Sebastian Vettel has paid tribute to fellow German Michael Schumacher after he won his first race for Ferrari at the Malaysian Grand Prix.
Schumacher won five world titles during his time with the Italian team between 1996-2006, and Vettel is known to have idolised the 46-year-old when he was a child.
Vettel beat Lewis Hamilton in Sepang in just his second race for Ferrari, and he admitted that he's always wanted to win for the famous team.
He told reporters: "It's been my dream. Michael was my hero. All the kids at the go-kart track looked up to him. When he turned up to shake hands every year it made our lives. I don't understand yet how special it is."
Vettel sits just three points behind Hamilton in the drivers' standings.
