Emotional Sebastian Vettel enjoys ‘dream’ win in Malaysia

An emotional Sebastian Vettel struggled to contain his delight after his “dream” victory at the Malaysian Grand Prix yesterday.

Vettel grew up idolising his fellow German Michael Schumacher, who won five of his seven Formula One titles with Ferrari, and went some small way to emulating him by securing victory for the Italian team at Sepang in only his second race for them after a frustrating final year at Red Bull in 2014.

The win was no fluke either as the four-time champion finished 8.5 seconds clear of 2014 championship winner Lewis Hamilton, whose Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg was a further four seconds back.
