MIAMI -- No teammate? No problem for Sebastian Vettel.
The four-time Formula One World Champion was Germany's sole representative in Sunday's Race of Champions Nation's Cup competition when teammate Pascal Wehrlein was withdrawn as a precaution after flipping a vehicle in an accident the day before.
Vettel turned the extra seat time into an advantage in an event where drivers are required to quickly adapt to a series of unfamiliar cars.
He dispatched the Team Colombia duo of Juan Pablo Montoya (who earned the event's individual "Champion of Champions" crown on Saturday) and Gabby Chavez before squaring off against the Team USA NASCAR pairing of Kurt Busch and Kyle Busch in the finals.
