In a class of his own and strengthened his grip on claiming a fourth successive Formula One world title!
Vettel's Singapore victory was his third in a row, his seventh of the season, and 33rd of his career, moving him out of a tie with Alonso and into outright fourth place on the all-time list behind Schumacher, Prost and Ayrton Senna, and now just 8 races from the Senna record.
Sadly, Vettel was again jeered on the podium.
Next up, Korea, 6th October!

Great result for Seb and for Red Bull, but for F1 as a sport? I think it doesn't look good that people that pay alot of money to go to the races and are passionate about the sport are booing the guy who wins? It's not his fault, sureley we should be booing everyone else for not being able to keep up! I must admit though, this was the first race I've watched in a long time and actually checked my watch to see how much longer it was on for Yes there was a lot of change towards the end with the 2 Mclarens losing their tyres whilst Webber and the Silver Arrows caught up and passed them, but it was still boring to watch unfortunatly And talking of Webber, 10 place grid penalty for his lift to the pits from Alonso, terrible I'm writing this season off now, fingers crossed the turbo charged 2014 season mixes things up a little

The jeering was disrespectful. Anyone would have thought he had cheated or got away with something.
He won hands down and this is how an F1 crowd repay it I think the boo'ers were bang out of order..
The Webber grid penalty was as a result of totting up, I would also like to think that Alonso received a warning for doing it?

Yeah it's not his fault he left everyone in his dust Can't punish the guy for being the best at what he does What are they expecting from a triple world champion who constantly breaking records? Yeah right, Alonso and Ferrari punished? behave! Didn't Alonso not do that not too long ago? Last season, season before?

32.4 seconds ahead of nearest rival Alonso in second, in a dry race which means the set ups will be no better than each other. there was a safety car so that bunched them up quite a bit. with 17 laps to go Vettel pitted and came out just ahead of Alonso, and still gained over 30 seconds on him!! nearly 2 seconds a lap faster, and Fernando Alonso was no match for him, that's surely not right. Even in Monza Vettel excelled over everyone and he was on a wet set up for the race. I honestly do think the RB9 has some kind of advantage, whether its the rumored traction control or not we don't know. but the fact is, no one should be booing Vettel, he's just doing his job. it is red bull that need to be investigated because whatever is working for Seb, it's not working for Mark Aidan :D
