Vettel finally shows his hand
Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull didn't just win the Singapore GP, they absolutely crushed their rivals. This, reckons MARK HUGHES, was Vettel's full pace finally unleashed
The Singapore track revealed the Red Bull RB9/Sebastian Vettel combination's full potential for perhaps the first time this season.
The emphasis on low-speed downforce played perfectly to the car's strengths, and the big direction changes into slow corners were perfect for Vettel, with his skill in manipulating the car's weight transfer to allow him to get off the brakes and onto the gas earlier than anyone. As a total package they were utterly devastating, by far the most dominant they have been all year.
