At the risk of flogging the same old dead horse, I think the tyres have a lot to do with it.
Vettel is certainly one of the best drivers out there and with such a superb car it's very easy for him to just drive efficiently and preserve the tyres.
Hamilton was really at his best in the Bridgestone era, where he knew he could battle for the entire duration of the race, in every corner, on every lap, without worrying about damaging the tyres.
I can see the combination of Alonso AND Raikkonen winning the Constructors for Ferrari next year but I can't see either of them beating Vettel unless Ferrari produce something that's streets ahead of RBR.
