Red Bull?s rivals seem ready to capitulate
McLaren and Ferrari appeared ready to write off their Formula One title hopes after Red Bull?s Sebastian Vettel won the European Grand Prix on Saturday for his sixth victory in eight races this season.
Vettel, the defending champ, stretched his advantage to a commanding 77 points over McLaren?s Jenson Button and teammate Mark Webber, who finished third Sunday on Valencia, Spain?s street circuit.
Vettel has won eight of the last 10 races stretching into last season, with Red Bull dominating qualifying in that time by starting first in 23 of 27 races.
?It?s finished really. In the sense of the championship, it?s almost over already,? McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton said after placing fourth.
