Jensen was the new sensation for the when he joined, but somehow went into the territory of forgetfulness, then suddenly like magic wand comes the Brawn GP, the revival begins, and as the time progressed just looked how things have gone for him. Hats off to this for perseverance and determination.
You have to understand that it is difficult to judge a car and a driver separately. These are complementary to each other, and requires each other combination like a nice smooth blend to succeed.
It requires something extraordinary to beat the rest of the pack. Each of the champion has their own recipe to make the championship work for them. People have different opinion about their ways, will argue about matters. But for them to be champion it was necessary to take measures. At times we have seen wrong judgement calls have made a fool out of them, but in the end it made them immortal in the history as to able to lift the trophy of the champion, as the best of the season.
Vettel is one of the contenders to be among the greatest of all, being able make a mark in the history. But as the years ahead will unfold, it will have the answer how he measured up as treacherous time erodes the fame, confidence and the luck he seems to enjoying now. I hope he does wow the world with his adaptability.
