Sebastian Vettel is adamant neither his German GP retirement nor his Italian disaster were the defining moments in his season, rather it was Singapore.

On Sunday, Vettel’s chances of securing a fifth World title were over as Lewis Hamilton wrapped up the crown with a fourth placed finish in Mexico.

The end of the championship race led to questions about where it went wrong for Vettel and Ferrari.

Although he was leading the standings after round 10, after round 19 it was over.

Asked whether he would agree that his German GP DNF, the result of a crash while leading, or his Italian Grand Prix woes, which included lap 1 contact with Hamilton, were the key moments, Vettel said no.
