Press reviews: “Vettel has seven lives”

GREAT BRITAIN The Guardian: “When Sebastian Vettel crossed the finish line and won the Singapore Grand Prix, victory fireworks lit up the evening sky. The ritual on the streets of Marina Bay ended with a bang. But Vettel's victory came at the expense of his teammate Charles Leclerc. The 21-year-old did control himself in the end, but only with gritted teeth and with the disappointment of a driver who firmly believes that he had beaten his teammate.

The Sun: "The four-time world champion had been questioned (...) But now he turned back the clock with a flawless performance under the Singapore spotlight and slowed down his frustrated teammate." SPAIN Ace: “Maybe Vettel has seven lives. He was probably never dead, or, as (Daniel) Ricciardo said when he came to Singapore, maybe he just needed one race to turn his fortunes around. On his fetishized race track, Ferrari's great quadruple world champion was given a smile back. It was a relentless triumph based on strategy but also solid overtaking maneuvers.”

The vanguard: “Sebastian Vettel's first win of the season at the Singapore Grand Prix will not go down in history for its heroism or anything like that. The German skipped the logical sequence on the racetrack when Charles Leclerc changed a tire.” GERMANY Picture: “The Vettel resurrection. 1st win in 392 days. But Ferrari colleague Leclerc is causing new trouble in Singapore. (...) Vettel's resurrection unfortunately comes too late for this year. Lewis Hamilton is still 102 points further ahead in the World Championship. But maybe there are at least a few more consolation victories for Vettel in the last six races...”

Southern German newspaper: “Hitchhiking to the comeback. Sebastian Vettel celebrates his first Formula 1 victory in more than a year. In Singapore he managed a flawless race, but he also benefited from a mysterious pit stop - which pushed him into the lead and sent colleague Leclerc into a rage.”

Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung: “Sebastian Vettel cracks the cool colleague. Ice time for the Reds: The German's first victory in over a year at the Singapore Grand Prix. Charles Leclerc feels disadvantaged by Ferrari and sulks.” ITALIAN The Republic: “From ugly duckling to beautiful swan in just three weeks? Is the double win in Singapore, the third win in a row for the Reds, a miracle after the poor start to the season? Not really: this year’s Ferrari team was a slow and unfinished construction.”

Sports Gazette: “The red wave. Ferrari can no longer be stopped. The reawakening of Sebastian and the team spirit. (...) Even if the first part of the season for Ferrari went the way it did. Let's enjoy the last month that the men in red have given us. (...) Vettel won with pride and splendor, he showed that he is not disarmed.”
