German rising star Vettel gets chance in Red Bull second-string F1 team

Toro Rosso F1 car

11th August 2007

German sensation Sebastian Vettel has secured the second Toro Rosso seat for the rest of the 2007 season and 2008. The 20-year-old (right) replaced Scott Speed at last weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix after the American was sacked following a row with the team at the European GP last month.

Vettel became the youngest man to score a Formula One point when he stood in for BMW’s Robert Kubica at the US GP. BMW boss Mario Theissen explained: “The current testing rules mean Sebastian rarely gets a chance to drive for us. Now, he has the opportunity to really prove his worth.”
