FORMULA ONE IN SINGAPORE

NOT QUITE CHAMPION

Vettel’s ninth victory in 14 races means he needs just one point from the remaining five races to seal the title. It is in the bag. The only man who can mathematically beat him is Jenson Button. At that, I think Button has to win all of the next five races to do it. The race, run in the opposite direction and at night, brought Jensen Button in second and Mark Webber (my favorite) in third.
