Webber came in 4.2 seconds behind Vettel so it is possible that a few modifications in driving techniques may give him the greater advantage since he already has the lowest total pit time numbers.

 

Sebastian Vettel’s win makes this his 27th victory which now matches Sir Jackie Stewart’s number of victories. Webber was ahead, but heeded a request to pull back while Vettel ignored it and continued on to claim the Malaysian Grand Prix victory.
