Formula One's latest sensation has yet to touch down in Singapore, but the high-speed machine that powered Sebastian Vettel to the crown of Formula One's youngest race winner is already sitting in its garage here.

The Toro Rosso car that the 21-year-old drove to victory in last Sunday's Italian Grand Prix arrived yesterday, along with that of teammate Sebastien Bourdais.

The cars of at least one other F1 team - Toyota - are also already in their garage at the Pit Building, off Republic Boulevard, for next Sunday's SingTel Singapore Grand Prix.
