Sebastian Vettel celebrated his world championship triumph with a couple of ’donuts’ on his victory lap at Suzuka, it has emerged.

The two smoky burn-outs were witnessed by the grandstand spectators at turns 1 and 2 but not the millions of television viewers, according to Germany’s Auto Motor und Sport.

"The FIA does not appreciate drivers senselessly burning fuel and tyres," the magazine said.
