It is easy to say that you can be at the top of the world when you can win the Formula One Grand Prix anywhere in the world on pure talent alone. It is much easier to say that you can do it continuously without ever having to rely on a good team and company to back you on the races. Both these may be far from a possibility, but do not tell that to German F1 driver Sebastian Vettel. Born and raised in Heppenheimm, Germany, Vettel set his career ablaze in the most unknowing of fashion. The racing world greeted him much too earlier than one would expect. Usually, a driver in F1 or any kind of racing for that matter would debut at an age of 27. And at that age, people would still consider you a newbie. Sebastian Vettel on the other hand, planned to make a name for himself at a much, much younger age.
Now at 22, German F1 driver Sebastian Vettel is one of the biggest and most promising drivers in the sport. He has set records that some would range from minor to eye-raising. Most infamously, he did the unthinkable in Monza back in 2008 when he was the youngest to ever win pole and to win the entire race!
As startling as that may sound already, that is not the most surprising piece of fact that you will find about him.German F1 driver Sebastian Vettel races for the company Toro Rosso, a minor associate under Red Bull racing. Before Vettel came in, Toro Rosso was one of the worst teams in all of Formula One. They had no significant trademark on any competition as they would find it a good competition already if they did not finish dead last in the races. As a matter of fact, they were so bad that when the championship came on, German F1 driver Sebastian Vettel had a brilliant 35 points, while his teammate closest to that score would only have 4.
Whether Red Bull decides to move Vettel to their trademark company or not, one cannot deny the fact that this kid from Germany is a threat to any other drivers championship aspirations. He makes the most out of what he has got, and that could be an indication of things to come. Once again, Germany has produced a driver that can one day be at par with their F1 legend Michael Schumacher. Watch out.
