I'm all seriousness though, Vettel won in a Toro Rosso before the Red Bull A-team could manage it, he can certainly move through the field better than most on the grid, and is almost never off pace in the rain (ooh Canada in the wet is why I love Button).
Yeah he's had a great car for many years, but that's a false pretenses imo, almost every championship F1 driver got there via good equipment, unless your name is Fangio, nobody did it on sheer talent and hard work alone.

I'd put the current top drivers as: Alonso, Hamilton, Ricciardo, Verstappen
Vettel is probably somewhere towards the top of the second tier. His win at STR was about the same as Maldonado's and Kubica's - mainly due to luck, but did well to capitalize on the opportunity.
