Sebastian Vettel blames Ferrari fans for boos after winning Singapore GP

F1 driver Sebastian Vettel has said after winning the Singapore Grand Prix that a travelling contingent of hardcore Ferrari fans were to blame for repeated booing as he was again heckled

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, The German, booed on the podium in both Belgium and Italy, was jeered again as he took the honours in Singapore, prompting TV interviewer Martin Brundle to break off and tell the offenders to be quiet

Afterwards Vettel, who is sprinting towards his fourth straight world title after seven wins in 13 races, said the booing was sour grapes from a group of well-heeled Ferrari loyalists, according to the report

He said that it was not nice but when he looked around the grandstands, most of the fans were dressed in red, referring to Ferrari's team colour

Boos rang out in Belgium after Vettel's win there, but some of those may have been from environmental campaigners after a protest during the grand prix, the report said.
