Not really sure what to make of this comparison. I think it would be better to wait until his career is over. Might draw a completely different and clearer picture!

Vettel has achieved more in his career so far than had Alain Prost, Lewis Hamilton, Niki Lauda, Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen in the same period

Easy for him when he has had the best car for the last two years. It's very likely that next year he will have the best car, at least for the start of the season anyway, as well.

Statistics can be manipulated to show anything, sometimes even the truth.

This is not one of those occasions :D

If red bull has the best car, how come only Vettel has been able to win with it?

Stuff like this is stupid, even if we ignore the fact that you can manipulate statistics to show whatever you want, you can't account for the fact that some drivers have always had better or worse cars and that at various times in Formula 1 the level of competition has been better or worse.

For instance at the moment there are very few drivers who you could genuinely call a waste of space. Your Petrov's, Algesuari's and so on are doing well now and there are only a few guys consistently getting rubbish results and they're more or less all in crap cars.
