Gary Anderson: Are Vettel and Raikkonen doing enough?
Ferrari has failed to step up to Mercedes' level this season, but how much of that is down to its drivers? Is there a simple fix to F1's wet-weather ills? And where have our man's frustrations and inspirations come from?
With Sebastian Vettel hardly setting the world alight at Ferrari, how would you appraise his performances so far? How does he stack up in comparison to the dogged determination and performance that Fernando Alonso exhibited when dragging his less than desirable Ferrari to championship challenges?

I have to say I did expect more from Vettel in year two with Ferrari. He is someone that needs to understand the car and how it operates for him to drive it quickly and efficiently, and I don't think he has that confidence in the package that Ferrari has created for this season. The car just seems too inconsistent for him to get into a rhythm.
