Last year Hamilton was pretty much a 'nobody' in terms of results, but now with the Mercedes, he's a 'Wonder Boy' again.
Basically you can not judge a drivers true worth when his car is not up to his talent, conversely you cannot judge a drivers true worth when he has a far superior car.

Agreed, and just in case anybody misread my post, I wasn't bashing Vettel but rather bashing Vettel bashing through deliberate exaggeration.
