Vettel best current F1 driver says Berger

Sebastian Vettel celebrates winning his first ever Grand Prix with Gerhard Berger at Monza in 2008
Dec.29 (GMM) Sebastian Vettel proved in 2011 that he is the best driver in Formula 1 of the current generation.
This is the claim of former Toro Rosso team co-owner Gerhard Berger, who in 2008 stood on the podium to collect the constructors’ trophy after Vettel won the first of his now 21 race victories.
“The boy is just great and he’s also with the best team,” said the Austrian, referring to Toro Rosso’s parent team Red Bull Racing.
“In the meantime he has become the best racing driver in formula one,” Berger told the Austrian broadcaster ORF.
“Last year I would have put him together on a level with Alonso and Hamilton, but after this season I have to say — he’s the best.”
Vettel, 24, won the 2011 championship in dominant style after his breakthrough title last year, and Berger tipped the German for more success.
“Together with Red Bull, he will be the front runner again next year,” he said.

There are quite a few F1 drivers at the moment as good as Vettel…….,BUT the difference is they don’t drive a perfect car.If Schumi was in the RB he would be standing on the podium all the time.
When Webber said he had no option but to accept another year from RBR,it was because he knows none of the cars on the grid are as good as the current RBR, and he knows he would have no chance in any other car………..But as with all things,time will pass and another great car will take the top place.
All Butterfly does is troll Red Bull articles. Keep trolling that boat, buddy. And what you heard from some back alley buffoon about RBR’s car being delayed is, as far as I can tell, wholey unsubstantiated. I’d like you to cite your sources.
Bitterfly, you must be very dissapointed if you keep lying to yourself. Vettel is a record breaker in all respects, and has already surpassed Alonso’s success. Get used to it.
By the way, he would have won 2010 with 100 points advantage as well, if his car does not fail manye times when he was leading.
I guess he has to say all that rubbish if the RB8 is behind schedule and the entire team is panicking about the 2012 season.
I would put Vettel on the same level as Massa.
