To a very little degree you are right. For example, Seb is only agressive when needed, competing for fastest laps, yes, when both titles was secured. He keps his cool nearly everytime.

I agree but he's not had many situations this season to deal with that would make him lose his cool has he? In fairness the guy has got the maximum out of the car on a Saturday and headed into the race knowing he has pole position. Recently he's made 2 very good overtakes for the lead, but that very different to drivers battling in dirty air and making several overtakes a race. Lewis has made a meal of this lately and there's no excuses there, but Vettel is in a unique position at the moment and handling it very well. I know with his pole/win streak he's being tipped as the best ever and its easy to jump on that bandwagon, but I think there are a few others who have shown their brilliance in the past who could handle the position he's in. If we head into 2012 and Red Bull are no longer the fastest team with Vettel not winning every week, that does not suggest Seb is any less talented, but it would highlight the importance of having the full package IMO. When you joined here Mia you were convinced Button was the best driver on the grid and you couldn't mention him enough. Now you support Seb because he's in that same position. You need to understand that F1 is a competitive business and the best drivers are not always given the best cars. It doesn't make them any less worthy of our respect IMO.
