Sebastian Vettel's F1 success should be celebrated not criticised

How' s your week at work been? Do you feel appreciated? Sometimes, now matter how hard you work and how brilliant you are, it feels like you just can't do the right thing.

If that is the case, take solace in the past few weeks in the working life of Sebastian Vettel. The German will be looking to take his fourth consecutive win in South Korea this weekend. He's won seven of the last 13 races and will probably take his fourth world title in a row come the end of the season.

And yet, he's been roundly booed by fans during the podium ceremonies at the last two races. Perhaps it was to be expected at Monza, where Red Bull had just rubbed Ferrari's nose in it once again.

But it was more surprising to hear it in Singapore, a city state where manners are normally impeccable. Vettel may well have been right when he joked it was probably a bunch of rich race fans who could afford to fly in to administer the cat calls. Perhaps their front-row seats have been booked for Yeongam this weekend.

In all reality, it probably is Ferrari fans, frustrated that despite the brilliance of Fernando Alonso, their team cannot get a sniff of victory It is ironic really, considering how Michael Schumacher dominated the sport a decade ago for the Prancing Horse.

I don't recall much booing then, even though the dominance was tedious - the exception perhaps being when he took victory on the last corner under team orders from Rubens Barrichello in Austria in 2002.

Vettel is like Schumacher in as much as he is German and a multiple world champion who is starting to dominate like Schumi did. But he has many qualities that should endear him to crowds. He is charming and engaging, and he has a sense of humour (liking Monty Python and Fawlty Towers among other classics).
