    Looks impressive enough to me!
    Number 5 is the only achievement. The rest seems redundant. Afterall you don't get to be World Champion without getting into points, get pole, win a race. And you need to be a F1 driver in order to get to target number 2-5.

    That is akin to saying just because a pilot is awarded the DSO his DFC is redundant... they are achievements along his career, each a milestone and each in this case a record in it's own right.

    One does not follow the other, the youngest driver ever to get a pole may spend years getting a win and may never become a WDC.

    This is correct. Of the 6 drivers mentioned as starting a race at a younger age then Vettel, only Fernado Alonso has won to date. Of course he achieved many of the same records broken by Vettel. Vettel's feats are impressive.

    In this case it does. Because the reverse is true. The youngest world champion, means he did get pole and wins. I'm forgetting that Vettel won races in 2009, did he got a pole in that season?

    He became the youngest pole winner at the 2008 Italian GP, which he won, making him the youngest race winner.

    And youngest driver not to listen to stupid suggestions that he should have moved over for his team mate in Brazil.
    When in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout
