Old points system rewarded 2nd place more, relative to the new one, so it makes sense that Vettel and Raikonnen have jumped Hamilton (who has no 2nd places this year).

Brazil. Vettel takes it by ONE point

Not surprising: new point system is nearly a 2009 point system multiplied by 2.5.
So 1 point in 2009 is more or less 2.5 point in 2012. And Alonso is only 3 points behind.


edit: 2012 top 10 divided by 2.5
Vettel 112.4
Alonso 111.2
Raikkonen 82.8
Hamilton 76
Button 75.2
Webber 71.6
Massa 48.8
Grosjean 38.4
Rosberg 37.2
Perez 26.4
