I dont think it would be right to say that Vettel is the best driver ever. The guy is young and he sure has a lot of talent in him. He also has the right car and is making the most of it. Red Bull and Vettel have made a absolutely perfect start to the season and are continuing to dominate after Vettel won the European GP last week.
Compared to last season Vettel has learned a lot and if you see now, we see a changed approach in Vettels driving. He is aggressive but his sggression is controlled and since he knows that he as a car than can dictate the race pace is is driving more intellegently. This years championship is certainly heading in favour of Vettel and Red Bull and we will have to wait and see if other teams can play catch up..

Vettel is young, he's in a fast car - the fastest car on most circuits - he starts from P1 and no one catches him. He never races, he just keeps going fast.
Imagine Vettel in the Renault that Alonso had when he drove for Renault a couple of years ago. Do you seriously think that Vettel has the talent that allowed Alonso to wring the best possible race time out of that car? I don't like Alonso personally, but the man has racecraft and a great technical ability that he uses to get the top performance possible out of any car he drives.
Vettel is fast, but his inexperience and his ability to get rattled when he's not winning easily cost him the win at Montreal. He would benefit from a few years in a bad car, to learn how to battle his way through the field and how to make the car do what he wants it to, rather than just piloting a winning car.
