Today`s wonderful race win for Toro Rosso and Vettel makes one wonder exactly what the future holds for this team.

They are now in terms of performance the third or fourth best team on the grid but are now about to lose their star driver at seasons end.

This is very unfortunate as the team could be in danger of falling back again if they have pay drivers, journeymen or rookies like Sato/Senna/Buemi next season, none of whom look to be in the same league as Vettel.

They need drivers of similar quality of Vettel to keep up their progress.

Perhaps they will get a call this week from Fernando Alonso. :)

It was a fluke performance because of the weather, just like Jenson Buttons only win... On a dry track, the Toro Rosso's are mediocre at best.

Mediocre ? what Red Bull, Williams and Honda are they then ? :p :

Seriously I hope that they will keep on the good work, they will sign a good replacement for Vettel, but especially that they will carry on with Ferrari engine for long long time :D Good Luck !

Scuderia Toro Rosso are now the third quickest team in Formula One, reckons former world champion Fernando Alonso.

Two drivers qualifying in the top 10 for the past 3 races and lots of Q1 topping does not equate to 'mediocrity'.

toro rosso is being built up, at RBR's expense, to be sold for the best price.

simple as that.
