Eleven years ago, it ended in a Formula 1 caravan, as 21-year-old Sebastian Vettel, 74, and XNUMX days old, became the youngest winner of a Grand Prix race in a rainy race for the Italian Grand Prix in Monza. The German started the race with an otherwise uncompetitive car from the best starting position, which he won the day before in equally rainy conditions. He also made history with Saturday's feat, as he became the youngest racer to win the best starting position.

He drove like an experienced veteran in the race and finished 12 and a half seconds ahead of Heikki Kovalainen at McLaren. This is the only win for the Faenza team so far and one of only two podium finishes since 2005, when the team was formed from the Minardi team.
