Vettel keeps cool to lead a Red Bull one-two

SEBASTIAN VETTEL kept his cool in the sweltering heat as he put the troubles that have plagued his start to the season behind him to secure a deserved victory at the Malaysian Grand Prix yesterday.

The 22-year-old German had found himself the victim of reliability issues that have hampered his Red Bull in the opening two races this year, with a spark plug problem and then a wheel issue seeing him surrender pole in both Bahrain and Australia.

Vettel lined up in the second row on the Sepang circuit yesterday with team-mate Mark Webber on pole and Mercedes’ Nico Rosberg second on the grid.
