Jubilant Vettel says mechanics deserve a treat

SEBASTIAN VETTEL yesterday urged his mechanics to treat themselves to “pizza and beer” in the wake of his crushing Australian Grand Prix victory.

Vettel produced the drive of a world champion as the sport’s youngest title holder did not put a wheel out of place before taking the chequered flag at Melbourne’s Albert Park.

Unlike last year, when Vettel was forced to retire whilst in the lead and after starting from pole, on this occasion nothing untoward barred his path to success.
