wins = Vettel or Hamilton (depending on 2014 changes impact on running order)

races = Button

points = Vettel or Hamilton

poles = Vettel or Hamilton

podiums = Vettel or Hamilton

I think its pretty much a safe bet that no one is beating Michael Schumacher's 91 victories or 155 podiums.

I can't see anyone going for the triple crown of motorsport anytime soon...

I don't think anyone will do that again, to be frank.

What Graham Hill had done is pretty remarkable.

To get more podiums than Schumacher, Vettel or Hamilton would literally have to triple their ammount. And both already have (a little) more than a third of Schumachers starts.

Which basically adds up to me seriously doubting they will reach it.

OTOH, the 100 podium mark seems entirely possible for the pair plus Raikkonen and Alonso.

Is anyone likely to break Jan Lammers record of a ten year gap between Grand Prix apperances?

[Kingshark]

Yeah and of them 53 It's been HAM/VET or VET/HAM probably 30+ times surely.

17, actually.

Well, why not Sato?

Sebastian Vettel of course took first wins for Toro Rosso and Red Bull. One to go.

That is debatable, as the biggest difference between TR and RBR at that time was the engine. The chassis however that year (IIRC) was built by the same company. By F1's definition that would count as the same constructor.

Who knows, Alguersuari might.

Badoer must have had nearly ten years between appearances as well.

[Jackmancer]

Sato to re-appear no sooner than 2018?
Unlikely...
He'll be 41 then.

Most WDC titles won before winning a young driver test

[Talisker]

Not a record, but who is the current holder of the Fisi award? i.e. raved about by random journalists and posters on forums as having supernatural talent, yet never actually does anything to demonstrate it?

I'll bite. Nico Hulkenberg? He was fast in Brazil 2012 and got pole there, but Fisichella had many very impressive wet weather races too. More in his first three seasons than Hulk has had thus far.

Yes, but Vettel won in the 2008 TR and the 2009 RBR.

Of course, Schu would have never been the pole holder if Senna hadn't died...

I can reasonably conclude, given the 1994-1995-1996 Williams were far quicker than any other car, he would have gotten 90-100 poles.

Senna in the 1995 Williams would have been something, given DC and Damon got most of the poles that season, (Schu only had 4 poles that year).

Everyone knows Senna died. So what!?

- being the most boring in lifestyle.

Once drivers were SOBs, rough characters, today they are all warped into the ideal son-in-law figures.

So drivers have an obligation towards you in their personal lives now?

In his post-championship guise Hamilton hasn't delivered anything like what the Journalists suggested, probably because he bought into his own hype...

Perez had a fair few talking but it has gone a bit meh! for him currently!

That would also discount Jackie Stewart's situation with Matra and Tyrell.
