Formula YAWN! - Hamilton: Vettel making fans fall asleep in front of TV

Classic footage of an epic Formula 3 battle between Hamilton & Vettel 2005- video

Red Bull's Vettel is on the brink of a fourth successive title after winning Sunday's Korean Grand Prix from pole position (HERE).

His fourth victory in a row gave the 26-year old German a lead of 77 points over Ferrari's Fernando Alonso with five races remaining. If Vettel wins in Japan on Sunday, and the Spaniard is ninth or lower, it is game over.

However, a certain Mercedes driver - Lewis Hamilton fears Vettel's Formula One dominance is becoming as much of a television turn-off for some fans as Michael Schumacher's relentless success was a decade ago.

"He has won already," Hamilton, who was fifth for Mercedes at Yeongam on Sunday, told British reporters. "Unless he doesn't finish the rest of the races, and even if he doesn't he has probably still won it.

"Personally I feel for the fans because I remember the period of time when Michael Schumacher was winning," added the Briton.

"I remember waking up in the morning to watch the start of the race and then going to sleep, and then waking up when it ended because I already knew what would happen. I am pretty sure a lot of people were doing that today."

I cant help but laugh at the British man's jibe. Like seriously, how is it Vettel's fault that he has no competition and his so called 'rivals' have made formula one look like formula yawn?
