Sebastian Vettel surprised but not worried about Toro Rosso 

In an interview with the Official Formula One website, Sebastian Vettel said to be surprised with Dietrich Mateschitz’s (Scuderia Toro Rosso co-owner) decision to sell the team, but not worried about the team’s future. “Very surprised,” said the young German. “As a driver you are usually one of the last people to come across in-house developments. Fact is I read it in the press, like everybody.”

“What does it mean for me? I want to race this season as well as possible, there is no reason now to be worried. When you saw the people preparing the car for the race at Sepang there wasn’t one who was thinking about what will happen in one or two years – everybody was totally focusing on the moment.”

“I usually don’t talk about my contract situation. And for the moment I am happy where I am; I am focused completely on this team. The races ahead have my full attention. It was always my philosophy to go step by step and it has served me well so far, so what will be at the end of the season lies too far ahead.”
