Vettel closes in on world title

MANILA, Philippines – Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel completed a hat trick of Korean grand prix victories to put himself only one week away from potentially clinching his fourth successive Formula One title. This is the 26-year-old's third successive Korean win, and his eighth triumph in 14 races. Vettel is now 77 points clear of Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso with five races remaining. If the German wins in Japan next weekend, and Alonso fails to finish in the top eight, the championship will be over. -- Mornings @ ANC, October 7, 2013
