Vettel never tried.

But in the absence of a mistake for FA, the answer is not on this track, no more than webber would have passed FA when webber was behind fred


Besides vettel was still trying to figure out about the drive through rather than to worry over passing Fred
I think vetten tried a couple of times, if memory serves me right, losing the control of his car as a result on both occasions hence his decision not to chance and bring hame as many point as possible.
PS I wonder if it was worth risk it all for a couple of extra points on a very difficult track
