Vettel joins legends after wrapping up fourth title

Sebastian Vettel has revealed his hurt at being repeatedly booed by race fans this season but was delighted to give the “right answer on the track” by clinching his fourth world title with victory in yesterday’s Indian Grand Prix.

Vettel has faced hostile podium receptions in Canada, Italy and Singapore among other venues this season, a trend that is presumed to be the legacy of his controversial decision to defy team orders and pass Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber for the win in Malaysia in March.

Happily for the German there were no such ugly scenes at the Buddh International Circuit after he produced a consummate drive to win at the track for the third year in a row.
