One of my favourite writers is Mark Hughes. He was the one that analysed the driving styles of Alonso , Hamilton and Vettel, to explain what gave them their 'edge'.
In the following article he looks at Seb and Kimi. He looks at their driving style, why Vettel does better on the softs but on the hards they're the same( think that's the right way round) why Vettel qualifies better but Kimi is often better in the race.
Why they both struggled against their team mates last year. They were both unable to adapt to a difficult car. It wasn't that their potential driving ceiling is too low, it's that they couldn't adapt to reach that ceiling.This says Hughes it what stops them being all time greats ( whilst they can still both be great drivers and deliver great results)
The current Ferrari is more forgiving and they are both able to access more of their potential.
Anyway, it's a great read. I'll leave you to take a look. I thought it was a good kicking off point to watch and comment on these two throughout the season.....
