An emotional Sebastian Vettel yesterday admitted it was tough to deal with being booed this season, but said he found the perfect riposte by winning the world championship again. <img alt="Sebastian Vettel" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/oct/Sebastian-Vettel1_2.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 292px;" /> Taking a bow: Red Bull&rsquo;s Sebastian Vettel bows in front of his car after winning the Indian GP and with it clinching his fourth straight world title at the Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida yesterday. Pic/AFP Vettel (26), who won the Indian GP to seal his fourth successive world title, said booing and jeering which greeted his wins in Belgium, Italy and Singapore, as he took control of the season, had come as a shock. But he was glad to answer his critics with his performances on the track. &ldquo;To be booed when I had not done anything wrong was hard, but I think I answered the things on the track which I am very pleased about,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t blame the people who booed me. It does not feel great. In fact one guy wrote a letter and apologised that he was booing. He felt bad about it. We are all part of the sport. If some people have passion for Ferrari for some reason, it&rsquo;s all right. It is not necessarily my fault. I am mature enough to understand that.&rdquo;u00a0The booing, which Vettel has blamed on a small section of disgruntled Ferrari fans, has been an unfortunate feature of the season. The young German however was anything but staid in his celebrations at the Buddh International Circuit, where he span doughnuts in his Red Bull before bowing in front of the car in mock worship. He said: &ldquo;I am speechless. I&rsquo;m overwhelmed. It is the best day of my life so far.&rdquo;u00a0 Sebastian Vettel&#39;su00a0doughtnuts cost euros 25,000 Red Bull were fined 25,000 euros over Sebastian Vettel&rsquo;s rubber-burning &lsquo;doughnuts&rsquo; after sealing the world title in India.
