What next for Red Bull's 'torpedo'?

Red Bull isn't known for being patient with underperforming drivers. So why is one who has been labelled a "torpedo" by the team's most famous son getting so many chances?

Little over a year ago, Sebastian Vettel raged over the radio to his Ferrari team. Vettel was left furious after clashing with team-mate Kimi Raikkonen at the Chinese Grand Prix's first corner, in an incident that was neither Ferrari driver's fault.

"The attack was suicidal," he raged about his assailant. "There was always going to be a crash." And then at the very next race, Vettel was struck again - by the same driver. Vettel went "ballistic" afterwards, his team principal claimed.
