Hamilton and Alonso are by by far the most obviously talented drivers; the question remains as to whether Vettel joins them.
Vettel managed to win a race for Toro Rosso in 2008, Hamilton's championship winning year. He also scored points in his very first race, and that as a substitute for Kubica in a BMW, not even a full time driver. Unlike Hamilton we've seen him in midfield teams. I think it's a bit silly to suggest he isn't enormously talented. Perhaps it's that British thing of not liking winners?
They are all enormously talented; we are talking small degrees here, but as I said - in F1, that's enough.

TBH, knowing SV as a person he's more like Mansell's character rather than Senna but has more personality.

Coulthard and Brundle doing cracking commentary...just in time for it all to move over to Sky.
Gutted :-(
Still - Brazil next! Always a fun one. For some reason it's the one I'd most like to attend...though Sao Paolo puts me off a bit.

Nope, I've no dislike of winners and absolutely no lack of admiration for Vettel - I just can't yet see if he's got that little bit of Senna that is evident in Alonso and Hamilton.
