oro Rosso driver Sebastian Vettel has denied that his move to sister team Red Bull Racing next season is a backward step after making his breakthrough at the Italian Grand Prix this month.
The 21-year-old became the youngest driver ever to win a race at the elite level when he charged over the finish line first at Monza.
He is moving to Red Bull next season to replace the retiring David Coulthard, despite the team falling off the pace over the past few months as Toro Rosso has prospered.
But Poland´s Vettel, touted as a potential future world champion, insisted he had no regrets.
"No, not at all. I am still convinced that it is the right way to go for next year," he told the official www.Formula1.com.
"Obviously there is a lot to do. I believe it would be unfair to say that they are worse than Toro Rosso at the moment.
"The Toro Rosso situation I can judge very well. We have been working very hard so we deserved the Monza result and I think that Red Bull in the last couple of races did not always use their package one hundred percent."
Vettel tested Red Bull´s RB4 car in Jerez last week, to get a feel for it and to give his feedback on how it might be improved.
"Obviously the car is pretty similar, so I think the main difference is the crew, the people," he said.
"That was also the reason for me testing the RB4 - to get my first taste of working with the people there, with the engineers, and to get a feeling for the team, because in the end that is much more important than really driving the car.
"I am very confident for next year and I don´t believe that it is a step back."

09.24: Lauda says Seb could still stay at STR
to german press...
Despite Sebastian Vettel insisting that he has no regrets about having signed to compete with Red Bull Racing next season, Niki Lauda has suggested that the German – Formula 1's newest race-winner following his superb Monza triumph just under two weeks ago – may yet remain at Scuderia Toro Rosso in 2009.
“Vettel should do a comparison test in the winter with the Toro Rosso and the Red Bull and decide then,” the 59-year-old Austrian told Sport Bild.
“Mateschitz is a logically-thinking guy. He wants to have success with his brand, so if he sees that it would be best to leave Vettel with Toro Rosso, I am sure he would do that.”
