Can Vettel overtake?

[wedge]

Within the top 5?

Is he too inclined for the pit strategy/pit pass to play out?

The Red Bull isn't very good at following in other cars' dirty wake.

Same with every other contemporary F1 car.

Button can see an opportunity and take it with both hands. He passed Massa crucially on the first stint.

Have yet to see Vettel show racecraft in the dry, create something from nothing.

Not really.

It called racecraft:

Alonso beating Schumi in an inferior car in Imola 2005 and Turkey 2006

Hamilton's oppurtunistic pass on Kimi in Monza 2007

Schumi/slicks beating Hill/wets at damp/wet Spa 1995

Well it's only Vettel's 2nd full season, maybe in a couple of years he'll have done plenty of hocus-pocus and abracadabra. Why question the ability of a driver after some 25 races and comapre him with drivers who did well over 100?!

Hamilton made some stunning manoeuvers in his rookie year.

Alesi made a stunning debut going against Senna at Phoenix.

Senna had stunning rookie year dragging a fledging Toleman into points finishes after coming from nowhere.

Many see Button as an opportunity and overtake him with one hand.

Schumi overtaking Button at Imola... a few years ago... actually that's not that much racecraft, afterall Button is known for being easy to overtake.

Racecraft isn't all about overtaking. It's about playing the race to achieve the best possible result. Hamilton's racecraft is pretty poor, as he often makes unforced errors. However, he makes up for it in outright speed and talent.
