and since no one bothered to teach him how to do anything else, he could well be racing F1 for another 20 years. he has a ridiculous amount of time ahead of him.

In reality he has to win it next year to take the youngest WDC accolade.... it isnt going to happen this year.
As has been said it wont be down to just his ability. The car and engine will have more influence than his abilities beyond token race wins.
TBH I dont see him making the youngest podium given Alonso and Hamilton were not much older than Vettel when they snagged their first WDC.
Unless Honda really get their act together for next year and Red Bull match Mercedes and Ferrari in the car dept.
