This is a moot point, we will all see Alonso and Vettel as teammates at Ferrari starting in 2014

I am not saying Vettel is the best, but he sure is better than some of you think. You don't become WDC without a good car, but you also don't become WDC without being a talented driver.

The funniest part of the race..
Lotus Race Engineer to RG, " Don't hold Kimi, he is much faster" (or something to that effect).
See for yourself, how much faster Iceman was from RG.
Pos Driver Team Time
1. Vettel Red Bull-Renault 2h00:26.144
2. Button McLaren-Mercedes + 8.959
3. Alonso Ferrari + 15.227
4. Di Resta Force India-Mercedes + 19.063
5. Rosberg Mercedes + 34.784
6. Raikkonen Lotus-Renault + 35.759
7. Grosjean Lotus-Renault + 36.698
8. Massa Ferrari + 42.829
9. Ricciardo Toro Rosso-Ferrari + 45.820
10. Webber Red Bull-Renault + 47.175
11. Perez Sauber-Ferrari + 50.619
12. Glock Marussia-Cosworth + 1:31.918
13. Kobayashi Sauber-Ferrari + 1:37.141
14. Hulkenberg Force India-Mercedes + 1:39.413
15. Pic Marussia-Cosworth + 1:42.925 (*)
16. Kovalainen Caterham-Renault + 1:47.967
17. De la Rosa HRT-Cosworth + 1 lap
18. Senna Williams-Renault + 2 laps
19. Petrov Caterham-Renault + 2 laps
A whopping full sec, lol!

However, looking at the end times after SC periods and slowing down in the end etc. means nothing when it comes to actual speed.
Kimi was lapping about 0.35 seconds faster laps.

Yes that is correct anyone would have won that race in that car. Even Mark Webber. Wait a second, Mark Webber? But but but he didn't win? I thought you said anyone would have won. How do you explain Mark Webber? Oh silly me I forgot. Red Bull is willing to throw away millions of dollars in constructor championship points as they purposely give Mark Webber an inferior car to make Vettel look better.
I am not saying Vettel is the best, but he sure is better than some of you think. You don't become WDC without a good car, but you also don't become WDC without being a talented driver.

Also, if you missed, what I was responding to..
Vettel vs. Alonso in the same car? I'm taking Vettel every time.

Not certain I'd say that the RBR is thought of as the leading car either....but interestingly at one stage they had the fastest trap speed. They must have dialed out some downforce for that track while everyone dialled some in.

Wow, that's quite analysis there.
Come on, stop sucking the guy's schnitzel for 5 minutes and you'll realize that what I said is nothing but the plain truth. All he did was finish the race, as the two cars ahead of him retired. Moot point. Let's see how he does at Suzuka.

Let's hear yours. Oh, that's right we've done so already: "Vettel is great, he's the best ever, and so good looking, yada yada yada..."
