Liuzzi: Vettel changed the atmosphere at Toro Rosso

Scuderia Toro Rosso driver Vitantonio Liuzzi revealed that the atmosphere within the team has improved when Sebastian Vettel replaced Scott Speed. It wasn't a big secret that Speed wasn't the team's best friend, but the 20-year-old Vettel is seen as fresh air within the team.

Liuzzi said about the situation within the team: "For sure, the atmosphere is a bit different in the team. Before, it was quite heavy, now it's changed a bit, it is a bit of a fresh air. Unfortunately for Scott, but Sebastian, the last two races, he was really welcomed by the team and there was a different air inside. He is young, he has to gain experience, he has to learn with the team and I think there was a bit of a difference inside and I think everybody saw this from the outside."
