MONZA: Sebastian Vettel left the Monza paddock trying not to grin from ear to ear after his dominant triumph for Red Bull in Sunday’s Italian Grand Prix and doing his best to avoid all talk of a fourth consecutive drivers’ title.

But after claiming his sixth win of the season in flawless fashion, he knows that if he wins three in a row and nearest rival Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso, who trails by 53 points, finishes second each time, he will require only two points from the final four outings to claim the crown.

Vettel, however, was in no mood to contemplate the statistics after a stunning triumph at the old Autodromo Nazionale.

“I am not really thinking about the points situation,” he said.

“Obviously, we are in a very good position but I am just thinking about Singapore.  We won’t think about what might happen in six, seven or eight races... just the next one.”
