Sebastian Vettel !! Is he a Legend ?

anachronix · 29th September 2011, 17:10

There were 2 drivers who overtook from the outside in Curva Grande in Monza.

1. Vettel on Alonso
2. Michael on Lewis

He is still a kid and he is making all records as the 'Youngest...'. He will only get better.

He showed his pace with the BMW Sauber's testing and he earned the 3rd driver seat the same year when he was hardly 18 year old! For those who know about Sauber, he has got some of the best drivers into F1.

I am not calling him a Legend yet, he is infact too far away from it. But he has been outstanding so far this season!

Just secured a back-to-back world title by finishing 3rd in suzuka. The youngest driver ever to do so!!!!!!!

He is already in the hallowed list of 15 drivers who have won two or more world championships, and he has done it faster than anyone else.

On his way to greatness. If anyone can break Schumacher's records, its him.

Sebastian Vettel showed he is one of the good guys in Formula One after he stayed behind after the British Grand Prix to help tidying up the mess left by fans at Silverstone.

Over 140,000 fans packed into the iconic Northamptonshire race track to watch Lewis Hamilton controversially win an action-packed race after colliding with Max Verstappen on the opening lap.

For Vettel, he had a weekend to forget on track after he was forced to retire from the race after 40 laps, seeing him finish without any points for a third straight race.

Seb may not be in the best form of his life on circuit, but his gestures towards environment of late is making some noises. His 'Bee' initiative, along with push towards zero plastic waste in paddock are real geniune efforts. It was heartening to see him clean up the mess created by the spectators, and he isn't doing it just for some publicity.
I want to see him for some more years, he always makes the race weekend interesting both on and off the track.
He may not be topping the records, but he's a legend in his own rights.
