Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel insists that being world champion has not changed him. "There are some things I can't do as freely as everybody else, but I can still walk down the street and go to the cinema without any trouble," he said. "And when I go to watch my favourite football team, Eintracht Frankfurt, I watch from the stands rather than the VIP box. There are always people who want to take my picture but it's not a problem. You just have to deal with it." Full story: Daily Mail, external
