Oliver WhiteThe sixty-first photograph to feature in BlogF1’s caption contest. You know the drill, think of something funny and witty to say and leave it as a comment below. Here we have a shot of Mario Theissen and Sebastian Vettel at the 2007 US Grand Prix. It was Vettel’s debut race has he substituted a recovering Robert Kubica, and although the German was just shy of 20 years old, BMW team bosses had faith in the youngster which was proven with a eighth place finish; Vettel became the youngest point scorer in the sport’s history.
