The problem is this season you have Vettel who has had at least a half second advantage in qualy, putting him on pole and being able to control the race.

Then you have Hamilton over driving a slower car and getting very frustrated (plato in BTCC anybody?) leading to more risks and more rash decisions. After he took his 1st WDC he visibly relaxed and drove much smarter for a season but that has disappeared again.

Finally you have Alonso who also consistently out performs his car and needs to to get anywhere. You can see the frustration creeping through to him as well on occasion, Silverstone last year? no further radio contact. Yet he was severely pushed by Hamilton on his début year which is not exactly common.

Its a difficult call to make, I think they are definitely the top 3 but until we see Vettel in a car no better than his opposition (or even a half second slower) there isnt really a fair comparison.
