Vettel holds out hope

Sebastian Vettel believes he can make the “impossible possible” as he bids to stop Lewis Hamilton from winning a third Formula One world championship.

Vettel’s win in Singapore, marred by a fanatical spectator who invaded the track, edges him closer to Hamilton in the title race after the British driver sustained his first retirement of the season.

Hamilton remains 49 points ahead of Vettel, but Mercedes, which have dominated for two seasons, were mysteriously off the pace all weekend.
