I don't think Vettel is as slow as his detractors claim, there is some merit and skill in what he has done, it's not like it was a cake walk every year. I thought Raikkonen would put up more of a fight against Alonso, maybe Vettel will easily claim the #1 seat as much as I love Raikkonen.

And Massa's 7th is due to Merc power.
And Raikkonen's finishes are due to coanda exhaust, their 'double' drs and very solid Renault engines. Some conspiracy on Pirelli using Lotus and Grosjean and Heidfeld for testing tires and their chassis working very well with the tires.
I hate Ferrari, love the drivers they've had since Schumi. Maybe the firings will force a positive change of direction, maybe not soon but eventually. One thing I'll give marchionne credit for, hopefully he won't put up with bullshit.
