Sebastian Vettel the Youngest Polesitter,Grand Prix Winner and Podium Finisher ever
On beautiful rainy Monza ambitious Sebastian Vettel manage to become ever and ever and ever at age of 21 years, 72 days and displaced Alonso the 2005 World Driver’s Championship .BMW-Sauber say they will keep a close eye on the progress of Formula One’s youngest race winner Sebastian Vettel after losing him to Toro Rosso last season.
“I would like to have every winner in my car,” team boss Mario Theissen told reporters after the 21-year-old German drove a faultless race through rain and spray on Sunday to win the Italian Grand Prix at Monza.
“It’s been the perfect move for Sebastian to come here for a few years in order to develop without too much pressure, “I think he will do very well in the future.A year ago it wasn’t possible to put him in our car, he was very inexperienced and you cannot gamble.It was much more important to give him the chance to develop in a team like this and he will do that for a few years and then we will see.He is so young, he can do a lot.” he added.
“Definitely the team has exceeded expectations by far. It’s not long ago that Minardi (Toro Rosso’s predecessors) were the last team in the pecking order on the grid, he said.
What we have seen shows that anything is possible in Formula One.It’s not just good for Toro Rosso, it’s fantastic for them, but its also good for the sport. We need independent teams and we need competitive independent teams.” Vettel said on Sunday afternoon in Monza.
“I won’t go to Singapore and feel like a hero and the superstar and expect another race win just like that,” he said. “It’s not going to be like that.I am down to earth enough to realise what happened today and to understand the approach for the next races.”
We definitely wish him all the very best.
Vettel Seized First Pole for the First Time
21-year-old Sebastian Vettel became the youngest driver to qualify on pole since the championship started in 1950.Vettel seized his and Toro Rosso’s first Formula One pole position.”What can I say? It was my dream one day to drive a Formula One car. My target was to fight for poles and race wins but today I didn’t expect it,” he said.
Ferrari driver Felipe Massa sounded surprisingly pleased to finish sixth on the grid for the Italian Grand Prix after a rain-hit qualifying session on Saturday.Lewis Hamilton, two points ahead of Massa in the Formula One drivers’ championship with five races remaining, could qualify only 15th in tricky conditions.
Now it’s a great chance for Brazilian Massa to take over the title running.”Definitely it’s a good opportunity. It’s important tomorrow,” he told reporters.
“We are not Supermen. It is difficult for everyone. We have done the best we could and we’ve had a qualifying session which in the end is positive. To be honest it could have been better but it could have been a lot worse.”
“It is a good position looking at the circumstances.”
