"It was about time!"

Over a year since his last Formula 1 victory, Sebastian Vettel finally got the monkey off his back as he won the Singapore Grand Prix and even the Ferrari driver has admitted it was about time!

Vettel has endured a tough 12 months, he gave up his lead in the 2018 Drivers' Championship as Lewis Hamilton comfortably claimed a fifth title and he hasn't won a race since the Belgian Grand Prix, over 365 days ago.

However, in Singapore, he gave a composed performance to take his first win of the season and Ferrari's third in a row. After being denied in Canada and watching his teammate win two on the bounce, even Vettel thought it was about time.

“After yesterday, when I wasn’t able to get everything out of the car, I am pleased with the way everything went today. It was about time!" Vettel said.
