Driver Vs. Driver Mclaren-Red Bull





Red Bull: Vettel Vs. Webber

“Not bad for a 2nd driver”. That quote pretty much sums up Webber’s experience at Red Bull with Vettel. He’s done enough to boost RBR to the Constructor’s Championship, and grabbed a handful of wins, but he really hasn’t been too exceptional and has even been pressured by his own team to get faster. Vettel, on the flip side, is the 3-time world champion who had one of the most spectacular comebacks even in F1 in 2010, dominated in 2011, and had an amazing comeback in 2012 as well. It just doesn’t add up. Red Bull shouldn’t be worried though, because almost every driver in F1 would transfer to Re Bull without a hesitation should they need to get rid of Webber. The clear winner is Vettel.


Ferrari: Alonso Vs. Massa

One word: Alonso.
 



Mclaren: Button Vs. Perez

Perez moving up to Mclaren was not what I expected at all. I would have picked Hulkenburg because of his consistency. However, obviously I don’t have a say in that, so here we are with Perez in a Mclaren. Perez is talented, don’t get me wrong, however on the flip side, he is inconsistent. For every major up in the last two years (both podiums, first race) there has been a matching down (Suzuka 2013, Monaco 2012, Abu Dahbi 2012). Anyway, usually it takes at least 2 years for a driver that moves up to a competitive team to win or compete for a championship, but Button did it in one, so it is possible. Mclaren have a good chance this year, and hopefully for them Perez will be more consistent so they can go for the Constructor’s Championship, but Button will be the prominent driver for Mclaren in 2013.
