Let's look at spec racing series where they were all driving the same car.
Hamilton and Vettel both spent 2 years in F3. In Hamilton's second year he absolutely dominated, winning something like 15 out of 20 races. Vettel on the other hand couldn't even beat Paul Di Resta. That speaks volumes to what their levels of natural talent are. |

Quit grasping at straws attempting to diminish Vettel's achievements. |

Well, Max schooled Vettel pretty hard last weekend, and he's still a teenager. So... not really sure what your point is there

The battle with Max was early in the race, both had similarly-aged tires, Vettel failed to pass Max in a faster car. Vettel's blowout was at the end of the race, on a different set of tires. (and the tire which gave out was the same one that Vettel heavily damaged with a lockup during his clumsy attempt to defend against Bottas) |

I always believed he was an excellent track driver. He is pretty fast. But as a rally driver he isnt very good, still fast but has to many wrecks... If he isnt able to get back into F1 he should do something like DTM or Endurance Racing, then he will be very successful. But im excited to see what he can do at the F1 test....

Was it just me, or was that (Hungary) race rather boring?
Though I did get to see Alonso actually race for a bit without the engine blowing up, so that's something. |
