Current Formula One World Champion Sebastian Vettel has 12 wins to his name in his very early career.
He has now won 2 out of 2 races this year but still I cannot rate him as one of the greats.
Lewis Hamilton, although I am one of his antis', is one of the great drivers of today including Fernando Alonso and Michael Schumacher. So why don't I rate Sebastian as highly as I did Lewis? Here is why.
In all of his 12 wins, Sebastian Vettel was on pole bar 3 times.
The first one was in Malaysia of 2010 where he was third from the grid but had a great start and was first going into the first corner.
Another same circumstance was in Brazil of 2010 where he was second on the grid to Hulkenburg, but of course, everybody knows the Williams wasn't competetive. He jumped right through before hitting the first corner and was first from then.
The third was in Abu Dhabi where he was second and Lewis was running first until he had a brake failure and had to retire from the race thus handing the win to Sebastian.
He has still a lot to prove, like winning from behind or having a non-dominating car. Only then could I rate him highly.
