    Latest Wiki update...

    Sebastian Vettel (German pronunciation: [zeˈbasti̯an ˈfɛtəl]; born 3 July 1987, beaten by Paul Di Resta, English pronunciation: brok-en Record) is a German Formula One racing driver, currently driving for the Austrian racing team Red Bull Racing. He is the current World Champion (Only because Paul Di Resta went to DTM instead of F1), having won the championship in 2010 and 2011.

    In his first year driving for Red Bull in 2009, Vettel finished the season as the youngest-ever World Drivers' championship runner-up (again, Di Resta was busy driving in DTM and would have won in 2009 not finish runner-up, he wiped the floor with Vettel if Carting, F3, Monoply, Snakes and ladders in the under 15 age group!). He also secured Red Bull's first pole position and race win in the team's history (How lucky can one man be, Di Resta would have done all the above and below and more in a lesser car, he, Di Resta, will be the first F1 driver to be inaugurated into the F1 Hall of Fame whilst still active, others will have had to have been dead a good 20 years before being voted in!). The following year he went on to become the youngest driver ever to win the World Drivers' Championship. In the same year he helped Red Bull win the team's first World Constructors' Championship. He followed up his first championship with a second in 2011, becoming the youngest double as well as youngest consecutive champion.

    Vettel holds numerous other "youngest" Formula One records, among them: the youngest driver to have taken part in an official practice session of a Grand Prix, to score championship points, to lead a race, to secure pole position,[1] and to win a race.[2]

    In short, Di Resta is the standard all F1 drivers are to be rated against. No one is ever good enough to be a “Full” Di Resta, for example:

    Fangio is .56 a Di Resta
    Senna as the highest Di Resta rating of .97

    "I Beat Vettel in F3" is the best name. Cos when you click on the page to see who it really is there is a statement that jumps out at you that would not happen with any other name



    I Beat Vettel in F3 has not made any friends yet

    Are we now suggesting "the Di Resta" as the SI Unit of F1 drive ability? (See here for prior)

    I'm not entirely sure how to apply it. As Di Resta is yet to win an F1 race, it would sort of be useless to compare this directly, in that every driver to ever win a race would be worth an infinite number of Di Resta's. Therefore, I'm going to take the logical assumption that had di Resta been given an F1 car rather than that pedal cart of a Force India he currently outperforms, he'd have won every race of his career, or 34 to be exact.

    From this:

    Schumacher is currently worth 2.68PDR's
    Prost 1.5PDR's
    Senna 1.21 PDR's
    These are the only drivers who can be deemed superior to di Resta, best of the rest:

    Alonso 0.88PDR's
    Vettel 0.71PDR's
    Hamilton 0.59 PDR's
    Raikkonen 0.53PDR's

    No other current driver is worth more than half a Di Resta by this logic, making them barely worth a seat in an F1 car.

    Also, the beauty of this unit is that, as Di Resta's prestigious talent is stifled by poor quality machinery, the unit will adjust to take into account that he will win more races, at a rate of 1 win/race, so the longer he competes, the less worth each other driver has in comparison to the might of Di Resta.

    If anyone has a better way to define the unit, let me know. Obviously when trying to introduce a new unit, people have different ideas.

    How did I miss that glaring omission!
    But to be honest, no point bleating that to the world, after all, Vettel's only got a Di Resta Rating (DRR) of .38, he's not worthy enough to collect the marbles off Di Resta's Pirellis!

    Somebody needs to change that: "He is also a former DTM and Formula 3 Euroseries champion beating team mate and future Formula One World Champion Sebastian Vettel while he was suffering with a significant hand injury halfway into the season which resulted in him almost losing a part of his hand."



    Would sound just as rubbish as the time Irvine beat Schumacher in 1999, luckily the public knew Schumacher had broken his leg that year to the point they would fall over laughing at Irvine if he thought it was valid.

    Suddenly reminded of that episode of How I Met Your Mother, where Ted and his students make a drinking game out of Robin saying "But 'um". Then she found out about and started saying it on purpose so they'd end up absolutely hammered. God forbid we have to take a drink every time Di Resta mentions he beat Vettel in F3.

    Need to start spamming it on SkySports and BBC every time Di Resta comes to get interviewed or something <laugh>

    Sooner or later I think he would twig what was going on and never bring it up again because he knows the public are making him look like a tool.
