I like Jim's "rev limiter" explanation. Generally, drivers avoid sitting on the limiter (why you wouldn't see it often) but it's possible the an extraordinary situation caused Vettel (if that is Sebs car) to prolong his stay at the limit.
Here's a thought: Perhaps a shifting problem?
Oh that right, RB has been having gear box trouble lately.
