Right Red Bull were quickest
That is why McLaren won 5 on 10 races in the 2nd half of 2012 , RBR 4. Two more wins lost to reliability otherwise it would have been 7 out of 10.
McLaren got 6 poles to RBR's 4 poles.
Secondly reliability of RBR were very similar last year 3 real retirements each...
Yes the Red Bull was the quickest a lot during the season. Overall they were more or less equal in low fuel.
Vettel spent the most time in first place all season. Webber spent 4 laps less then Hamilton in 2nd all season.
Vettel completed 18 races, Hamilton 14.
Webber completed 16 races, Button 15.
Vettel led the most laps during the season.
Vettel had the most wins, second most podiums (10 versus 7 for Ham)
Red bull had one more podium then Mclaren.
Same amount of wins.
One less pole position for Vettel. Equal amount of pole positions (RBR)
Most fastest laps for Vettel, nearest rival had 2.
7 fastest laps in total for RBR, 3 for Mclaren
1162 laps completed for Vettel
57 more then Button
117 more then Hamilton.
You know the argument is weak when they start of with "That is why McLaren won 5 on 10 races
in the 2nd half of 2012"
Because taking in all the facts would actually show the real picture. And the real picture says that over a season they were pretty much equal in low fuel dominance, they just had different sweet spots for various tracks like the Asian rounds fitting perfectly with the Red Bull.
And that the Mclaren was in no shape a better car then the Red Bull with it´s far worse reliability.
So we can conlcude you watched something entirely different then the 2012 Formula One Season.
