Vettel untroubled by rivals or boo boys

Sebastian Vettel soaked up the boos on another champagne day when he took a giant step towards winning his fourth consecutive Formula One world title.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner described Vettel’s drive en route to taking the chequered flag at the Italian Grand Prix for the third time as “flawless”.

That was with a small exception of a lock up into the first chicane on the opening lap when he flat-spotted his front-right tyre, sparking brief consternation on the pit wall.
