New Kid in Town: Interview with Sebastian Vettel
After just a few Grands Prix, BMW-Sauber's third driver Sebastian Vettel moves around the paddock like a veteran, and his personality has made him an instant media favourite. Jonathan Noble talked to F1's latest golden boy
He has been labelled the most engaging Formula One driver for 20 years - and he has not even started racing yet.
