I don't think so. Kimi and the Lotus were much easier on tires and faster on older tires at race end. Vettel wasn't exactly rocketing away in the first stint, and of course had to pit much earlier. Vettel in the Red Bull were a more ideal pair for qualifying, but clearly, obviously, Kimi and the Lotus were the class of the field for the race.
