Re: Ferrari (Di Montezemolo) - Vettel Is Better Than Hamilto

Not sure if one can categorically say Red Bull-Vettel was a tenth quicker than McLaren-Hamilton in Austin Q3, when the latter managed to make it so close despite making bigger mistakes. Let alone the fact that qualifying pace doesn't always represent race pace. Davidson's analysis of the final lap o...
