Newspapers also reflect on latest boos and Alonso's performance

The British press have been full of praise for Sebastian Vettel's shattering win in the Singapore GP - although suggested the sheer scale of the German's latest victory reawakened arguments about how much his relentless success is due to Red Bull's RB9.
And while there was also widespread applause for Fernando Alonso's own performance as the Spaniard surged from seventh to yet another second place - The Times describing the Ferrari number one as a 'miracle worker' - no one in Fleet Street was in any doubt that Vettel will be crowned a quadruple champion come season's end. 'His third win in three races gives him the biggest points advantage he has ever enjoyed. It increased from 53 points to 60 with six rounds remaining and Red Bull can really afford to relax and accept that even Fernando Alonso's hopes are slim," the Daily Mirror's Byron Young wrote. 'The Spaniard needed to win to have any chance in the championship. But the best he could do against this man-machine was second. Having started seventh the Spaniard was, yet again, at his relentless best.'
