Vettel’s Monte Carlo gamble pays off

SEBASTIAN VETTEL described it as “an extreme honour” to add his name to the roll call of legends to have won the Monaco Grand Prix which was chaotic and captivating in equal measure.

Vettel took the chequered flag for the 15th time in his Formula One career, but undoubtedly this victory meant the most to the reigning world champion.

The 23-year-old has now won five of this season’s six grands prix, that figure equalling his number of successes last year en route to taking his maiden crown. There is currently no stopping Vettel, even when there are times, as this weekend, it appears that might have been the case.
