Vettel's performance at Monza, both in qualifying and the race itself, was like an exclamation point on a great year for him and the junior team. How much of that performance, particularly as the year progressed, can be attributed to the Ferrari engine?
I think that Renault were snookered a bit when they tried to go by the letter of the regs., and did not develop the motor in the interests of "reliability and safety", as the others did. By the time they smelled the coffee and Flav was through crying about it, the pot was almost empty. Both Renault and Red Bull suffered. I would think this would not be allowed to happen again, despite the rules.
This season will be Mark's biggest test, I think. He is up against probably the top rated young gun in the business. We should enjoy the fight while it lasts, because I suspect we may see Vettel and Alonso at Ferrari in either 2010
or '11.
I will say; qualifying, Vettel 11-6, and points, Vettel, 68-40.
