Sebastian Vettel's dominance is not likely to suddenly end.
That is the claim of Mercedes boss Ross Brawn's, amid suggestions from Red Bull that Sebastian Vettel's crushing dominance in Singapore might have been exaggerated.
Telegraph correspondent Tom Cary, seems to agree. Before the Korean Grand Prix, he warned that only "a gust of seriously bad luck or a typhoon" could blow Vettel off course.
Indeed, Cary was right: Vettel cruised to a fourth consecutive win on Sunday, moving him to his first 'match point' of a fourth consecutive title.
If Alonso finishes lower than eighth on Sunday at Suzuka, and Vettel wins a fifth consecutive race, the German will wrap up the championship with four races still in his pocket.
That prospect doesn't seem to please Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton, who could only manage fifth in Yeongam.
"I can imagine it's frustrating for the audience," the Briton told Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper.
"There is a car that gets to the line 30 seconds before the others, and so the viewers aren't seeing any real racing or a wheel-to-wheel battle.
"Of course it's boring for them if they know after the start what's going to happen," he added.
