Why you are trying to put Luca Badoer back in this F2012. I am pretty sure that Alonso certainly is not the benchmark for the car's performance as it would just overshadow his ability to cope with difficult conditions. So, with Massa being the benchmark for the F2012 performance, it should been accepted that this car is not a good one by any standards.
OR
Just to be more precise the car may have some more performance in it which Massa can't get out of it, why you want an even worse driver then him to take the job. Do you want to make Massa look good.
As for Vettel's mistake, I have already said that I have not seen the action thanks to loadshedding so what I have said was based on assumption that he made a mistake when he was lapping Karthikeyan and suffers left rear puncture, later from Autosport commentary I came to know that Karthikeyan was under investigation for that collision. FIA has determined that Karthikeyan was guilty of causing a collision in the incident with Vettel and penalised him a post race drive thru.http://www.fia.com/en-GB/mediacentre/f1_media/Documents/mal-document-36.pdf Which means Vettel would have been aleast 4th, but for Karthikeyan's stupidity.
Lastly, Vettel has made your list for unknown reasons ( or maybe they are well known reasons ) and Jean Eric Vergne has not:o A rookie, going from 18th to finish 8th and driving on inters the entire first stint when others pitted for full wets, not good enough?
How could you assume Vettel made my list because of unknown reasons, Vettel was closing on Hamilton till lap 45, the difference between them was cut down to 4.5 secs, RedBull have the better race pace then McLaren and was soft on tyres, McLaren was having nightmares with tyre wear issues as Button who is better with tyres was struggling so if Vettel have close the gap, Hamilton have to push hard to remain ahead or yeild the position to avoid losing more position because of tyre wear in ending stages of the lap like Rosberg in Melbourne.
I have already said I feel sorry for Michal alongside Kobayashi and Maldonado and no I am not surprised by the 10th place, it was happened after the first lap incident, Michal have posted his best lap around lap 50 or 51 and certainly was closing on the drivers ahead.
OK, I certainly forgot to mention Vergne and he deserved the applaud for his achievement today, although I think Australian GP last lap chaos have already shown him that he has talent too.

Sorry Bro, Wrong Torrent. Thanks Blackeye117 for pointing out, I don't know what I was thinking.
