Red Bull took on Vettel when he was under 22 btw. What an odd age to select, funnily enough exactly Hamilton's age when he started in F1. What a coincidence. Oh and he started his F1 career in a BMW and a very competitive, Newey designed and Ferrari engined STR. The school of hard knocks has another graduate!
We may add that he beat both Mr. Webber and Coulthard who were both driving Newey designed and updated RBRs in the championship standings in 2008 and he also won the Italian GP for STR, and it is the development team, and nobody else has even come close at STR.

Besides if FormerF1Champ holds that opinion, he is entitled to it!
