@PDM, Maybe Alonso had a way faster car theVettel until Singapore. We have no objective data to prove Ferraris are slower. They have the highest speed peak by the way but the bulls have a beter down force. Were RB's man to be Webber Alonso would would be wining efforlessly. The only way to establish whether its thecar or the driver would have them switch cars. By the way, 2 of the three wins Alonso had came from wet Quali or races plus safety cars and so on and so forth. He who has more points at at he end of the season wins. We could argue foreber about the fsstes car in the grid but that wouldnt make sense. It would if Red Bull went on winning even after Seb leaves like the Williams in the mid 90s (Hill, Frenzen, Villeneuve looked like champs on that car)

@Dush
Alonso had just one pole in quailies back in Germany but just count how many poles Vettel have had? I don't remember !! . I think this would make it clear which car has been faster . For sure vettel is faster than the sluggish Weber but not as fast as some others but I agree with rest of ur post

@PDM, there are guys who are just faster than others on one lap. This could be the case of Seb and Ham just like in MotoGP Lorenzo, Casey and even Crutchlow are just way above the rest on one lap. Just look and Grosjean and Kimi, the former always qualifies better though they are on the same car. That's sheer speed. Then racing is another issue altogether. Ferraris are on the same pace with Red bulls come the race day. Obviously starting at the backnever helps but qualifying on pole doesnt mean you have the fastest car. PS, thanks for stating your points without insultin other users or drivers :)
