He's not a rookie. He's an experienced driver. I don't even think he's doing anything special with that car. It's just Vettel is struggling, and if we take him out of the equation you see a man in the second best car getting podiums, which is what you would expect. He's driving very well, solidly, pulling some nice moves, getting good tyre wear, doing all the things he should be doing.
Beating Vettel is giving the illusion of greatness when we spend most of the time saying Vettel's not much cop. Doesn't add up.
