Hard to really say. The Red Bull is the class of the field however Vettel consistently outperforms his team mate Mark Webber. Could be that, Like Ferrari of yore did for Schumacher, Red Bull is developing the car to suit one driver, Vettel. Regardless he is a great talent. My biased opinion would be that in equivalent cars Alonso, maybe Hamilton and Button are better drivers. Keep an eye on Sergio Perez. If he keeps from crashing the Mercedes he could be a multiple winner next year.
