Top 5 moments which could've won Sebastian Vettel the 2018 F1 title

#5 Dominant Victory in Belgium

Vettel stood on the top step of the podium for what is currently the last time at Spa.

Ferrari came out of the summer break with what was clearly the fastest car on the grid, Mercedes had no answer to their red hot pace during practice for the Belgian Grand Prix. Qualifying threw a spanner in the works, though, raining for the first and only time that weekend and enabling Lewis Hamilton to claim pole.

Sebastian Vettel would come out on top in the four-way battle up Kemmel for the lead and Hamilton wouldn't get close enough to challenge for the remainder of the Grand Prix.

Ferrari had the best car on the grid, that was clear, and you could sense in his interviews that Hamilton was seriously afraid of losing his points advantage further during the fly-aways at the end of the year.

However, as we all know, that didn't happen, Italy began a run of 6 wins in the following eight races to complete what ended up being Hamilton's best season in Formula 1.

Had Vettel and Ferrari limited their mistakes, they could've at least kept the battle for the championships going to the final round. If you want to read more about how Hamilton won the 2018 title, check out this other article.
