The 21-year-old German driver Sebastian Vettel has stunned Formula One as the sport's youngest winner, cruising to the chequered flag at the Italian Grand Prix to give his tiny Toro Rosso team its first victory.
Vettel, who is also the youngest driver to start a grand prix from pole position, gave his Ferrari-powered team their first win with a remarkably assured drive through the spray and slippery conditions.
McLaren's Lewis Hamilton, who started 15th after losing a gamble with the weather in qualifying, retained his championship lead by a single point over Felipe Massa after overtaking a string of rivals to finish seventh, one place behind Massa.
With four races remaining, Hamilton has 78 points to Massa's 77 and Robert Kubica has 64 after finishing third at Monza.
