World Champion christens his 2012 charger

Sebastian Vettel has christened his RB8 Abbey as he looks to a successful defence of his World Championship. The German has given his car a female name since joining Red Bull in 2009. In 2011 he drove Kinky Kylie while for his first title success the year before he was behind the wheel of Luscious Liz. Vettel was asked by Bild why he had chosen Abbey for 2012. Was it his favourite Beatles record (Abbey Road) or the chicane at Silverstone? Vettel replied: "Neither. It's just a cool name. "
