After winning the Singapore Grand Prix at the weekend, the German is now only one point away from securing a second successive title and Brundle acknowledges that he has been ‘unchallenged’ in 2011.

Speaking in his BBC Formula 1 column, Brundle said: “In the next five races he either needs to finish once inside the top ten – or he will be champion in any case the moment Jenson Button fails to win a race.

“His dominant display in Singapore again elevated him into a different class to the rest of the field. Surprisingly it’s the first time sinceValencia 2010 he has led from lights to flag, including the pit-stop phases.

“He was basically unchallenged, even if Jenson put on a mighty charge in the closing stages. The winning margin was only 1.7 seconds as Vettel found heavy lapped traffic in the final few laps.

“Vettel was asking to have a run at fastest lap in the closing stages but the team denied him. It’s a clear indication of his determination to rewrite history.”
