Sebastian Vettel showed Formula 1 fans what they will be missing from next season with an eye-catching performance at the United States Grand Prix.
The German finished eighth, but that simple fact alone fails to capture the brilliance on show from the German in Austin. He survived the crash between George Russell and Carlos Sainz at the first corner to move up to sixth place, and that set the tone for the rest of his performance.
At one point he was even leading the race, in his Aston Martin, for the first time this season. That was, admittedly, owing to the fact those driving for the top teams had pitted once more than he had, but it saw the German bring up the milestone of having led 3,500 laps in his F1 career.
