Vettel plays down huge points advantage

SEBASTIAN VETTEL has admitted to being a duffer at maths, which is why he has no interest in the championship standings at present.

Vettel romped to his sixth win in eight races this season, and if you take the end of last year into account the 23-year-old German has taken the chequered flag in nine of the last 12.

Yesterday’s European Grand Prix triumph was as comfortable as it gets for Vettel, completing Formula One’s equivalent of the hat-trick as he won from pole and had the fastest lap to boot.
