Formula 1: Vettel, triumph and dream

Ferrari's victory in Singapore shortens the distance between Sebastian Vettel and the two Mercedes drivers. The gap from Hamilton is reduced from 74 to 49 points – With six races to go, the Ferrari driver's comeback is still very difficult, but it's no longer impossible

Formula 1: Vettel, triumph and dream

Six grands prix from the end of the 2015 Formula 1 season recovering 49 points to the absolute leader of the World Championship Lewis Hamilton is almost a dream but probably Sebastian Vettel at the end of the Singapore GP, which saw him triumph in front of his former Red Bull teammate Ricciardo and a revived Raikkonen, will have a little thought Done.

The signals to concretely hypothesize a Ferrari comeback to the detriment of the two Mercedes of Hamilton and Rosberg they are still few but already from next weekend we will be able to understand if the Prancing Horse team can really try to assault the drivers' title. The circuit of truth will be that of Suzuka, in Japan, one of the most beautiful tracks in the world championship and with a unique "8" shape. Here it will be possible to understand if the difficulties of the Mercedes were only temporary or if the problems could persist for the rest of the season. In fact, it should be noted that over the weekend of the suggestive Singapore GP at night, it was more the involution of the two Mercedes that made the news. The Ferraris, which brought new technical improvements to Asia, were very clever at inserting themselves and taking advantage of the difficulties of the German team which never found the right set-up in the whole weekend spent at the Marina Bay circuit in Singapore.

In addition to the slowness of the Mercedes, we must also point out the Hamilton retirement who has half the race was forced to watch the Vettel triumph from the pits due to the loss of power in his car's engine.

Sure, two clues don't prove it, but if we also add the constant improvement in the performance of the Ferraris and the exceptional feeling of Seb Vettel with the Rossa, the dream could start to materialize. It must be said, on the other hand, that in the history of Formula 1 such comebacks have never been seen 6 grands prix from the end. We would need a Mercedes in a black crisis and a Vettel in a perfect state of grace and in the "Eddy Merckx" format ready to win all the remaining grands prix, cannibalizing the World Championship finale.
