all the wrong reasons at Fuji</a> last weekend after crashing into the back of Mark Webber.</p> <p>But he more than made amends for the blunder with a clinical drive to fourth from 17th on the grid in tricky conditions.</p> <p>It’s the best finish for the team since Toro Rosso took over from Minardi in 2006. The last time a Minardi finished fourth was Christian Fittipaldi in the 1993 South African Grand Prix. <span id="more-5111"></span></p> <p>The team has never finished on the podium, having now taken four fourth places since it was formed in 1985. It contested 340 races as Minardi and, since then, 34 as Toro Rosso.</p> <p>It was a result earned by both driver and team, whose judicious pit work meant Vettel was the only leading driver to make just one pit stop on a day of mixed conditions.</p> <p>It’s also the best result for 20 year-old Vettel in his seventh Grand Prix.

He more than makes up for Fuji, considering in this instance the conditions were more favourable for even the frong running drivers. Now Tost and Berger can stick it in Speeds face that they have made the right driver selection for next year. It would really be interesting to see what the other serbastien is capable of, when they become team mates next year.</p> <p>As for Liuzzi, lets just hope he can market himself with these points. I dont really think he is a spectacular driver at the moment, although the cars he has raced in havent been up to scratch until fairly recently if u also observe how well the sister RBR team is goin too.</p> <p>Interestingly, it only took a single minute for Torro Rosso to storm past Honda on the points table, yes there is a bull by the sidepods, but the core of the team is still, minardi.</p> </div> <div class="comment-options"> <a class="comment-reply-link" href="/web/20120605034442/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2007/10/07/flawless-vettel-storms-to-fourth/?replytocom=82139#respond" onclick="return addComment.moveForm("comment-82139", "82139", "respond", "5111")">Reply</a> </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment even thread-even depth-1" id="comment-82176"> <div class="comment-avatar-box"> <div class="avb"> <a href="" rel="nofollow"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120605034442im_/http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/548bd8cd19e45c0a1ede42be82733105?s=50&d=http%3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D50&r=G" class="avatar avatar-50 photo" height="50" width="50"/> </a> </div> </div> <div class="comment-content"> <div class="comment-meta"> <p> oliver said on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120605034442/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2007/10/07/flawless-vettel-storms-to-fourth/comment-page-1/#comment-82176"><span class="time-since">7th October 2007, 12:46</span></a> </p> </div> <div class="comment-entry"> <p>OMG hahahahahaha did anyone see the way Webber was waving? for a moment i thought he’d jump out of his car and pursue on foot.</p> </div> <div class="comment-options"> <a class="comment-reply-link" href="/web/20120605034442/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2007/10/07/flawless-vettel-storms-to-fourth/?replytocom=82176#respond" onclick="return addComment.moveForm("comment-82176", "82176", "respond", "5111")">Reply</a> </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1" id="comment-82470"> <div class="comment-avatar-box"> <div class="avb"> <a href="" rel="nofollow"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120605034442im_/http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/82a23aa230af71ad652117e39d7b1135?s=50&d=http%3A%2F%2F0.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D50&r=G" class="avatar avatar-50 photo" height="50" width="50"/> </a> </div> </div> <div class="comment-content"> <div class="comment-meta"> <p> Robert McKay said on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120605034442/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2007/10/07/flawless-vettel-storms-to-fourth/comment-page-1/#comment-82470"><span class="time-since">7th October 2007, 22:29</span></a> </p> </div> <div class="comment-entry"> <p>“but the core of the team is still, minardi.”</p> <p>Yes, running a Red Bull chassis.

Honda have been absolutely abysmal and are easily the worst team of the year in my opinion. STR have improved a bit, but like I say they are only managing a car. They’ve not built it from scratch, and they’re (as far as I can tell) not designing, building and developing a car for next season either because they’re going to let Red Bull do that bit. At least Honda have given up developing their dog of a chassis and are starting again.</p> </div> <div class="comment-options"> <a class="comment-reply-link" href="/web/20120605034442/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2007/10/07/flawless-vettel-storms-to-fourth/?replytocom=82957#respond" onclick="return addComment.moveForm("comment-82957", "82957", "respond", "5111")">Reply</a> </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment even thread-even depth-1" id="comment-82991"> <div class="comment-avatar-box"> <div class="avb"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120605034442/http://www.craigblog.co.uk/" rel="nofollow"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120605034442im_/http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/98bea450ba206b1fcfc78464befb3ffd?s=50&d=http%3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D50&r=G" class="avatar avatar-50 photo" height="50" width="50"/> </a> </div> </div> <div class="comment-content"> <div class="comment-meta"> <p> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120605034442/http://www.craigblog.co.uk/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">Craig</a> said on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120605034442/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2007/10/07/flawless-vettel-storms-to-fourth/comment-page-1/#comment-82991"><span class="time-since">8th October 2007, 12:32</span></a> </p> </div> <div class="comment-entry"> <p>To be fair, technically Red Bull Racing don’t build their own car either…</p> <p>As far as I know a separate company, Red Bull Technology, design and build the cars for both RBR and Toro Rosso thereby getting round the whole customer-car fracas.</p> </div> <div class="comment-options"> <a class="comment-reply-link" href="/web/20120605034442/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2007/10/07/flawless-vettel-storms-to-fourth/?replytocom=82991#respond" onclick="return addComment.moveForm("comment-82991", "82991", "respond", "5111")">Reply</a> </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1" id="comment-83009"> <div class="comment-avatar-box"> <div class="avb"> <a href="" rel="nofollow"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120605034442im_/http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/547689ccf6cee4c8ab0571053ea6529c?s=50&d=http%3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D50&r=G" class="avatar avatar-50 photo" height="50" width="50"/> </a> </div> </div> <div class="comment-content"> <div class="comment-meta"> <p> John said on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120605034442/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2007/10/07/flawless-vettel-storms-to-fourth/comment-page-1/#comment-83009"><span class="time-since">8th October 2007, 13:10</span></a> </p> </div> <div class="comment-entry"> <p>two races in difficult conditions twice vettel has been up contending for podium place i dont think its a coincidence. seem to be a very good driver from what i can see</p> </div> <div class="comment-options"> <a class="comment-reply-link" href="/web/20120605034442/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2007/10/07/flawless-vettel-storms-to-fourth/?replytocom=83009#respond" onclick="return addComment.moveForm("comment-83009", "83009", "respond", "5111")">Reply</a> </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment even thread-even depth-1" id="comment-83029"> <div class="comment-avatar-box"> <div class="avb"> <a href="" rel="nofollow"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120605034442im_/http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/548bd8cd19e45c0a1ede42be82733105?s=50&d=http%3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D50&r=G" class="avatar avatar-50 photo" height="50" width="50"/> </a> </div> </div> <div class="comment-content"> <div class="comment-meta"> <p> oliver said on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120605034442/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2007/10/07/flawless-vettel-storms-to-fourth/comment-page-1/#comment-83029"><span class="time-since">8th October 2007, 13:52</span></a> </p> </div> <div class="comment-entry"> <p>John i agree with you about Vettel, All I was simply talking about was his performance in relation to Scott Speed. I dont care too much for Speed, but he was removed from the team based on personal dislike and not performance. And the fact that Vettels strategy was the ideal one for the race doesnt detract from the fact he put in a wonderful performance.</p> <p>At the last race in Fuji, even the team admitted the used 2 different setups for the cars as a gamble just in case the weather predictions turned out to be different, and that will always work for a single driver but ultimately the team will benefit.</p> <p>At the end of the day anyway, its all academic, Tonio is leaving the team.</p> </div> <div class="comment-options"> <a class="comment-reply-link" href="/web/20120605034442/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2007/10/07/flawless-vettel-storms-to-fourth/?replytocom=83029#respond" onclick="return addComment.moveForm("comment-83029", "83029", "respond", "5111")">Reply</a> </div> </div> </li> </ol><!-- .comment-list --> <div class="comment-navigation paged-navigation"> </div> </div><!-- #comments --> <div id="respond"> <h3 id="reply-title">Add your comment <small><a rel="nofollow" id="cancel-comment-reply-link" href="/web/20120605034442/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2007/10/07/flawless-vettel-storms-to-fourth/#respond" style="display:none;">Cancel this reply</a></small></h3> <form action="https://web.archive.org/web/20120605034442/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp-comments-post.php" method="post" id="commentform"> <div class="comment-avatar-box"> <div class="avb"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120605034442im_/http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/ad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536?s=50" class="avatar avatar-50 photo avatar-default" height="50" width="50"/> </div> </div> <div class="comment-content standard-form"> <p class="comment-notes">Your email address will not be published.
