Analysis: Vettel on top
There's no question of who the top dog is at Maranello. In every respect, Sebastian Vettel has proven himself to be the scuderia's most valuable asset. But with the exception of qualifying where he's been comprehensively demolished by his team mate, Kimi Raikkonen hasn't been that far off. When Vettel has uncharacteristically dropped the ball, the Finn has been on hand to pick up and salvage things for Ferrari. He's been quick and competitive, and perhaps the only reason he's behind Vettel is that the team is ultimately laser-focussed on the German's championship campaign when it comes to deciding race streategy. The benefit of a stable, friction-free driver line-up is proving beneficial to Ferrari, which might explain why there is suddenly talk of Raikkonen still being part of the squad come 2019. And if he is, it'll be because he's thoroughly earned it.
