It's an interesting article, and nice to see Vettel is making a sincere effort to keep things in proper perspective.

And honestly, it's nice to see he's a fan of vinyl, there so few of us out there, dwindling each year.......

Refreshing. Thanks.

I didnt know he holds so many youngest records. =D>

Already F1's youngest-ever points-scorer, race-leader, pole position-holder, race-winner and world champion,

Its impressive but what impresses me most about Vettel at the moment is he hasn't let all the records and prestige that comes with it alter his behaviour on and off the track. The guy is mature way beyond his age. Mentally as well as emotionally. In 2010 he never gave up, never became desperate, he just remained consistent, yet when he saw a doeable strategy, or move on the track he took it. Sign of a great driver....

I think Vettel is just perfect for RedBull corporate image.young, fun, easy going and can-do spirit.

It's quite easy to act all mature and happy when you are always winning and things are always going your way.

In 2010 we saw how he acted like a spoilt brat when things weren't going his way (Turkey, Hungary, Italy).

I protest (tongue in cheek, but only a bit) when people states that to be easy going, happy, modest and confident, or to have any other qualities, you have to be mature.

I happily recognize that when people calls you mature (as in this thread) they are making a compliment. Anyway...

It's like saying that young people should be worried, filled with angst, vain and unsure.

Frankly, I think those are personal qualities you have (or have not) since you are like two years old.

You know what? The guys I met at preschool still behave in the same way, almost 50 years later.

Fatty López is still fat. Vain Alex still is vain. Happy Amanda is still happy.

I'd say that your education is complete when you're like 3 years old and NOTHING can change you from then on.

Future parents, beware! I believe education resides entirely in the way you treat your babies.

So, I think Vettel seems a modest guy with very good humour and probably he has been like that since he could talk.

I also tend to think that you only notice maturity in the capacity of persons to be silent (when needed), in the wrinkles and in little else.

Now, if you're expecting to be older to become more tranquil, let me say this: you won't. Nor any driver in the grid will...

@talent....Totally agree that its easy however its also easy to let things and delusions of grandeur go to a persons head.

I think that interview is boring. Vettel is a good kid and that is all.

Spoken like a true Hamilton fan n smikle!

What amazes me about Vettel is his maturity, given his age. It's good to see he is keeping a level head and both feet on the ground when he could easily be disappearing up his own wotsit.

I've read that brain injuries can cause personality and behaviour changes.

I would tend to agree in so far as him not saying anything extreme but it does allow us a glimpse into the psyche of a young champion and his character.

I think they're all, except one or two (e.g. Webber), pretty boring these days and when they try to break out of that mould and become 'controversial' all of a sudden, they turn into blubbering fools (name withheld).
