Oh please. RBR had a totally dominant car for four seasons- in one of them I think they took pole at every (or almost every) opportunity. It can't be the driver in one case and the car in the other. Mercedes struggled under Brawn when RBR and Adrian Newey were kicking *ss.

Hamilton is immensely talented. Vettel is talented but no where near a Hamilton or Alonso or even a Riccardo. He has a penchant for choking under pressure and he's amazingly immature. He will never, ever win a world championship again and he was, IMO, lucky to win the ones he did.

Hamilton dominated no matter who his teammate was. He served Alonso notice the moment he stepped into a McLaren.

Vettel dominated Webber- most of the time. Riccardo kicked his a*s to the curb. Charles is doing the same thing. When faced with a superior car or driver Vettel does only one thing- he chokes. And he's done that in Monza for two years in a row.
