Vettel boost title hopes with Japan win
Sebastian Vettel gave his hopes of claiming a third-consecutive world title a huge boost as he took advantage of Fernando Alonso’s first-lap retirement with a consummate Japanese Grand Prix victory at Suzuka.
Vettel cruised to his third victory of the season, and second in a row, to move him to within four points of Alonso at the top of the drivers’ championship, after the Spaniard dramatically crashed out at the first corner after contact with Kimi Raikkonen.
