Vettel was just imperious - two small mistakes but they didn't cost him, and he probably just needed waking up. DiResta with a strong drive and clever strategy. Alonso with a strong drive to get what was probably the most from this weekend, a second place behind Vettel.
I can see why he was in sixth - the Red Bull and the Mercedes obviously work their tyres harder, and therefore in damp conditions get them up to temperature better - it's why the Ferrari was good in the wet early last year, it worked the tyres a bit more, generated hear and got grip. This year they have a much softer car on that front and struggled, like Lotus, in a damp qualifying. Ultimately only out-qualified by the Red Bulls and the Mercedes isn't a bad qualifying, it's more or less to be expected. Bottas was the only driver who shouldn't have been in front, but (I didn't see qualifying) I imagine it was something like Brazil 2010 with the Hulk - got the car and tyres working and had rhythm and momentum for a strong lap.
