[Comment From nihil nihil : ] 
so regulation changes doesnt affect the performnce of redbull at all...least that vettel could do is copy the performance of button last 2009 and he will b crown again ED - That is true but if (and that is a big if) Vettel and Alonso were on equal fuel loads, it means that Red Bull were more affected than Ferrari. McLaren, Mercedes and Renault are affected Lets hope for a dry qualifying!
