Sebastian Vettel won his first Grand Prix in over a year last weekend and will hope to build on that momentum this weekend in Russia. Ross Brawn is pleased for the Ferrari driver and thought that the race was exciting in a different way to Budapest, Spa and Monza.

“Twenty-three Grands Prix have gone by since we last saw Sebastian Vettel on the top step of the podium," Brawn said to the official F1 website. "The Ferrari driver has now won in Singapore five times, more than at any other track.

"More than this, the win also came at a track that was maybe the least suited to his Ferrari. But, in the end, in the sweltering Singapore night, he claimed a somewhat unexpected but well-deserved win.

“While Sunday’s Grand Prix perhaps failed to deliver the same tension as the late summer races – I’m thinking of the dramatic events in Budapest, Spa and Monza – it was, in my opinion, still a fascinating and intense race."
