Red Bull deal won't distract Vettel

Wednesday 23rd July 2008

While he is happy that his long-term future has been sorted out, Sebastian Vettel insists he will continue to give his all to Toro Rosso for the remainder of the season.

Vettel is considered to be one of brightest prospects in F1 and Red Bull's announcement that the German will replace David Coulthard next season hardly came as a surprise.

The 21-year-old believes he still has a lot to offer to Toro Rosso before the end of the season.

"Obviously it's good to know early in the season what are you doing next year," he told Autospor during testing at Jerez.

"But all my focus is on this year. The way I approach the weekend, or a single lap, or the race, doesn't change just I know what I'm doing next year.

"I have grown up and learned enough to go step by step and for sure this step is not yet finished. And you can see that our results are getting better, so there's a very good atmosphere, everybody is extremely happy."
