Not to mention 7 points difference between 2010 and 2012 combined and Alonso would be a 4-time champion with Vettel sitting on one. Sebastian is a great driver but he is NOT a good racer. He struggles in traffic, struggles with passing, and only has great success when he doesn't have to deal with anyone else. The only time he successfully navigated up the field was Abu Dhabi 2012, but only because he started from the pits, allowing himself to tweak his aero for passing (all other cars unchanged from quali), and had safety cars to help him by bunching up the field. Alonso fights for every position he gets.
7 points, and he'd be four time winner, while Vettel holds on to his fluke engineering single win in '11.
