How times - and Australian team-mates - change for Sebastian Vettel. After going through the whole of 2013 undefeated against Mark Webber on race day when both Red Bulls made the chequered flag, Shanghai represented the second successive race in which the quadruple World Champion had been beaten by Daniel Ricciardo.
If the 20-second gap between the Red Bulls raised a few eyebrows, then the difference between the two Ferraris in Shanghai was an F1 chasm. While Fernando Alonso ran the dominant Mercedes cars closest and delivered Ferrari's first podium of the season, his fellow ex-World Champion team-mate Kimi Raikkonen, hampered by tyre warm-up problems in the chilly conditions after a generally disjointed weekend, finished eighth - a whopping 52 seconds behind the Spaniard.
