Alonso.
He would have passed Vettel because he drove as expected from the best driver in F1.

AND to send a message he was able to finish FOURTEEN seconds ahead of Massa - who was asked to conserve his engine - but Alonso was not.

Team orders? Or maybe they understand that Fernando is not the sort who seeks to make teammates look good.

The header on Vettel's car broke and he had reduced power but that sort of problem is not uncommon when drivers do not look after their car and he Vettel weas rough over the kerbs.

I will not be surprised to see Alonso do it again in Australia - exactly who else will challenge him? He did outdrive everyone.

You're forgetting that Massa had a problem with his car and backed off at the end of the race. You do remember that it was Massa who qualified second, not Alonso? To me they looked very evenly matched for most of the race and laptimes support my view.
