In the interest of 'I'm bored, what is some trivia we don't know yet', I did a quick comparison between Vettel's and Hamilton's pre-F1 careers.
Lewis Hamilton's junior career is mostly remembered for winning the 2006 GP2 championship, and specifically his comeback race in Turkey.
Meanwhile, Vettel's junior career seems to be remembered as "Paul is faster than you" in a season he raced 3 radically different cars at the same time.

I don't see a need to put any driver down, so let's just look at the similarities between them:
Sebastian Vettel drove 94 races in Formula BMW, Formula 3 and Formula Renault 3.5, in which he won 29 races, took 22 pole positions and 54 podiums.
Lewis Hamilton drove 109 races in Formula Renault 2.0, Formula 3 and GP2, in which he won 37 races, took 32 pole positions and 62 podiums.

Percentage-wise,
Sebastian Vettel won 31% of his races, took 23% pole positions and finished 57% on the podium.
Lewis Hamilton won 34% of his races, took 29% pole positions and finished 57% on the podium.

Looking only at their time in the highest junior class,
Sebastian Vettel won 20% of his races, took 20% pole positions and finished 60% on the podium in Formula Renault 3.5.
Lewis Hamilton won 24% of his races, took 5% pole positions and finished 67% on the podium in GP2.

[What's Burning?]

I'd like to see a competition where F1 drivers compete for something completely un F1, like a hot dog eating contest.

[bud]

I'd like to see a 100m sprint

[What's Burning?]

Right after the hot dog eating contest.

Well, of course, Montoya would smash the hot-dog part.

You had to bring him up, didn't you?

[What's Burning?]

Not so fast there, Kobayashi is the current Nathan's champion hot dog eater.

[Jabberwocky]

Nathans?

[What's Burning?]

Nathan's Hot Dogs

I wonder if Vettel would like them with sauerkraut and mustard.

[Jabberwocky]

Clever use of a Kobi with that one lol

[mnmracer]

Bratwurst > hot dog

Someone had to do it, the opportunity was too good to miss

[elfinitty]

Rope pulling ( or whatever it is in English )competition
Eating competition is a good idea
