The facts are the facts, he has had the outright best car in F1 for 3 years, that happens to coincide with Adrian Newey being at Red Bull. If you put Alonso or Hamilton in his car the past 3 seasons, they would have had the title wrapped up far earlier than Vettel did in each occassion.
we shall never know - for example this season Red Bull was stopped several times by a failing generator. this would have happened to any driver.

Also Hamilton and Alonso are a couple of years older and have more experience.

but i agree in one point - we will never know how good he really is until he goes to another team like Ferrari, Mercedes or McLaren and wins something with them as well.

And btw - when Schumacher went to Ferrari they were a mediocre team and it took them 4-5 years until Schumacher became World Champion. Alonso still has to prove that he can lead the team in that direction - because this year it was just him - not the car.
