I have to say ... I don't think Vettel is that good a driver, all things being equal. I think it was all his car. He is being eaten alive by his rookie team mate!
The alternative explanations are: His driving style does not suit these new cars.
The facts that point against this statement: If he and Mark had the same car, he was always faster after ever since Istanbul 2010.
You could say that about Alonso and other people.
Thoughts?
