Besides being the youngest ever driver to win the F1 title, Vettel is also the youngest driver to have taken part in an official practice session, the youngest to have scored championship points, the youngest to lead a race, the youngest to secure pole position, the youngest driver to set the fastest lap time during a race, the youngest to get a podium position and of course the youngest to have won a race.
And even though Vettel showed a more controversial side to his character when he passed Australian teammate Mark Webber to win this year's Malaysian Grand Prix despite being told not to, Vettel's achievements speak for themselves.
Of the last eight races, Vettel has won seven with six of them being on the trot. And despite being booed on the podium, notably at Monza and Singapore, his dominance last year as well as this year on the Asian circuit prove that he is probably one of the greatest F1 drivers ever.
Vettel (26), at present, has four Formula 1 driver's world championships to his name. He has now matched the prestigious record of legends Michael Schumacher and Juan Manuel Fangio of winning 4 consecutive titles. With age on his side, the German can easily get 3 more titles and equal Schumacher's 7-title haul till the time he is 30.
Not only that, with the kind of predominating form that Vettel is in right now, he can also go on to match Schumacher's stupefying record of winning 5 consecutive titles when he races next year.
"Michael Schumacher came and he had a dominant car. It is incredible that he managed to score more championships than all the true legends. So to finish with people like them is amazing. But I am way too young to understand. Probably, when I will be 60 may be I will realise. It is difficult to realise something than no one can take away from you," Vettel said.
The debate regarding who is the greatest ever Formula 1 driver can rage on till the end of time, but one thing that can be stipulated with certain assurance is the fact that Vettel's caliber and aura speak volumes when it comes to fighting his case of earning respect.
He has the talent, he has the skill, and 'best' of all he has the technology in Red Bull to help him achieve his dream of becoming the greatest of all time.
