Vettel joined F1 in 2007. He is a talented driver. Even seven-time F1 world champion Michael Schumacher (迈克尔·舒马赫) believes he is the best young driver he has seen in recent years.
However, the road to world champion was not easy for Vettel. He had gone through ups and downs. When he drove well, people called him “Baby Schumi (舒米，舒马赫的昵称)” and said he would be a great driver. But when he didn’t race well, people said he was too wild and immature. The worst moment for Vettel was when he bumped into his teammate’s car in a race. Both of them gave up, and Vettel was called “Crash Kid.”
In the rest of the season he became more careful while racing. He tried his best to win every race and finally realized his world champion dream. We are glad to see he has grown from a boy to a man!

John Coker is a home-made rocket lover from America. He loved rockets when he was a little child. But he never thought about making one himself. In 1998, John started to build rockets.
One day, a friend of his said that his I-ROC looked like a crayon, then he had a great idea — build a crayon rocket. Not just a crayon rocket, but a set of crayon rockets! The smallest set of crayons he could find had eight crayons, so that is the number that he used.
Six years later, his eight rockets were finished. He took them to the desert to launch. But only four, half of them, flew up into the sky. The highest one reached 892 meters high.
Up to today, he has made 44 rockets. They are his coolest toys.
