How Malaysia showed the best, and worst, of Vettel
The final Malaysian Grand Prix wasn't the kindest to Sebastian Vettel, but it did serve to highlight the four-time Formula 1 world champion's ruthless credentials, both on and off the track
Perhaps because this was the last time around, the race-day crowd at Sepang - put at 56,000 - was respectable enough, and many lamented that it hadn't turned out a few years earlier, and perhaps safeguarded the future of the Malaysian Grand Prix.
In international terms, it's MotoGP only for Sepang from now on, and that's a shame for by common consent this, his first grand prix circuit design, is one of Hermann Tilke's best, a place the drivers always loved, even if not too many were interested in going to watch them. Nor, what's more, was this final race light on drama, and after a lamentable Monza and a humdrum Singapore, that was not unwelcome.
