OK, Kobayashi knows the car but Nick Heidfeld has been in F1 for a decade. He has 169 starts compared to Kobayashi's 18, and Kobayashi started 3 or 4 places behind Heidfeld. He also had to overtake certain cars twice because of his pit strategy. I'd say that's pretty stand out to be honest.
Also I'm not saying you're wrong to vote for Vettel but... in my view a lights to flag victory doesn't really compare. I think most of the drivers on the grid could have won from Vettel's position in that car today. It was a good drive but nothing special. I think only one or two could have wrestled that Sauber up to 7th.
