Sebastian Vettel has had plenty of low points over the past couple of months as his hopes of winning a fifth Formula One drivers’ title have faded away.
Spinning in Italy after contact with title rival Lewis Hamilton was one; picking the wrong tyre compound in Singapore was another. Careering backwards off track and falling to the back of the field after a brush with Max Verstappen in in Japan summed up the Ferrari driver's fortunes over the past four races.
Hamilton sits 67 points clear at the top of the drivers' standings and the Mercedes-GP driver can secure the championship with victory at Sunday's United States Grand Prix with victory and if Vettel finishes lower than third.
