Kimi Raikkonen has converted a brilliantly working 2-stop strategy to a race wing for Lotus, immediately confirming the long run pace of the E21. Fernando Alonso finished in second place, 10 seconds behind while Sebastian Vettel completes the podium in third.

All the drivers take late apexes there, unless he can comparitvely show that Hamilton, Alonso and others are not taking a late apex then the much simpler answer to why Vettel is so much quicker is because he drives a RB.Lorenzo_Bandini wrote:Davidson have shown why Vettel is SOOO dominant in the last sector.

Davidsons description maybe shows why he was still ahead of Webber, but not where he found over half a second on third place and over a second on all the other teams.
Webber is not Hamilton or Alonso though, that accounts for the difference only between Webber and Vettel...Lorenzo_Bandini wrote:JimClarkFan wrote:All the drivers take late apexes there, unless he can comparitvely show that Hamilton, Alonso and others are not taking a late apex then the much simpler answer to why Vettel is so much quicker is because he drives a RB.Lorenzo_Bandini wrote:Davidson have shown why Vettel is SOOO dominant in the last sector.

No, Webber took an early apex, and he was stuck in the rain, while Vettel choose the late apex where the track was dry.
just FYI, the STR3 was designed by Newey - http://www.f1technical.net/f1db/cars/93 ... rosso-str3ForMuLaOne wrote:Vettel also won a race in monza some times ago, i wonder if some people believe that newey designed every car with a red bull on its engine cover. He also beats Webber for ages now. So, give him a little respect. Where there is a dominator, there are haters.
