I don't know about "Super Seb" but Vettel is clearly better than Webber. One driver doesn't beat the other 3 years in a row unless he is clearly better. 2010 was very close but the other two years were not. The difference is not big but its clearly there.

Staying out actually put him closer to Vettel. The longer the front drivers were on softs, the longer they were pulling away/not losing to Vettel.
