LONDON (Reuters) - Sebastian Vettel would have to be as lucky as a lottery winner to clinch this year's Formula One championship after another dominant display by Mercedes at the weekend, according to Ferrari boss Maurizio Arrivabene.

With five races left and a maximum 125 points to be won, Ferrari's German driver is 59 adrift of reigning champion Lewis Hamilton who chalked up his eighth win of the season in Japan on Sunday.
