‘Perfect day’ as Vettel ends Canadian hoodoo

Sebastian Vettel finally laid to rest his Canadian Grand Prix hoodoo with a victory he believes makes amends for his mistake of two years ago.

From his third consecutive pole position at Montreal’s Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Vettel last night made the advantage stick with a comfortable win to keep him on target for a fourth successive Formula One world title.

In 2011, Vettel should have won what was an epic race, the longest in the sport’s history given a two-hour delay for rain.
