Driving the Torro Rosso, Sebastian Vettel had a near perfect qualifying session in wet conditions, which saw him take the pole position. He became the youngest driver to take a pole position in Formula 1.

With the track still being very wet, the race began under the safety car, and Vettel held his ground right from the start. The German led the race in a controlled fashion and took the chequered flag at Monza with the Torro Rosso, embarrassing the Ferrari, whose best position was a lowly sixth place.

At that point of time, he became the youngest Formula 1 racer to win a Grand Prix. Sebastian Vettel's win at the 2008 Italian Grand Prix showed glimpses of his potential and set the platform perfectly for his future world championships.
