Im not a Vettel fan but fair play, you can only do what's asked with the machinery at your disposal and he did that and then some.
IMHO as far as being a race car driver with all the car craft with which that entails I think both Hamiltion and Alonso have an edge and given similar machinery to Vettel I wouldn't know where to put my money (and I do like a bet).
Webbers not in the same leauge (and never has or will be) as those 3, he's just been taking up a seat that could have been occupied by a decent driver. Would Vettel have been that far ahead of his teammate had his teammate been Kimi, Lewis of that Spanish bloke?

Id go for the latter tbh.

But do they really have the same machinery? Who knows what is under the body work, lets face it Red Bull Racing have previously given Vettels car upgrades and not Webbers.

Appaently they arent exactly the same under the bonnet due to the size difference of the drivers, i think the KERS kit is in a different place on webbers cars.
But either way either Webber is really really sh1t or Vettel is very good. Being a Vettel fan id go for the later :drinking:
