Monza 2008: How Vettel and Toro Rosso pulled off their fairytale F1 win

Sebastian Vettel won the Italian Grand Prix at Monza. He is the youngest winner in Formula 1 history. It was a monumental day for Toro Rosso, who won on home soil. The team evolved from Minardi. The fans wept and kissed the circuit. They will go on to win at the next race in 2020. There was no rain at this race. Hamilton finished second. Valtteri Bottas finished third. McLaren brought Hamilton in for fuel loads. If the rain came, Vittel would have won. Ferrari won in Italy in 2010. F1 fans celebrated on the podium.
