Sebastian Vettel odds-on favourite to win title following ruthless Malaysian display

Sebastian Vettel may be out of favour with the fans and the media following his unsporting act in the Malaysian Grand Prix but that's not the case with the bookmakers.

Meanwhile, Sky Sports F1 pundit Johnny Herbert successfully tipped up Vettel to go quickest in qualifying and Nico Hulkenberg to finish in the points, a double on which would have accumulated odds of 3/1. Herbert is working in conjunction with Sky Bet by producing race-by-race tips for the bookmaker, with every successful suggestion raising money for Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance. As for the next race in China, Alonso has ground to make up after his disappointing weekend in Sepang and is 4/1 to win in Shanghai, although the bookmakers are again siding with Vettel, who is 15/8 favourite to win the race. Nico Rosberg was last year's surprise winner of the Chinese Grand Prix and is 12/1 to repeat that feat this time around, though his team-mate Hamilton is the only driver to have won more than once in Shanghai and is expected to be well-backed at 7/1.
