The Toro Rosso team have confirmed that Sebastian Vettel will replace Scott Speed with immediate effect. Vettel will drive for the team for the rest of the 2007 season.

The Toro Rosso statement read:

Scuderia Toro Rosso announces that as from the Hungarian Grand Prix, Sebastian Vettel will replace Scott Speed as the driver of car number 19.
Vettel will drive for the team in all the remaining rounds of the 2007 FIA Formula 1 World Championship.
Having joined the Red Bull Junior Team in his early karting years at the age of 12 and been guided by us and BMW through his Formula BMW and Formula 3 career, we now welcome Sebastian back to the Red Bull family.

These guys have the same interpersonal skills as my boss.
Must all be members of Aholes international
I mean what piss poor timing, of course Speed will be hyper when he has just stepped out of an icescate B grade car from an accident that also claimed the championship leader.
