Buemi stays with Toro Rosso

Sébastien Buemi chose stability. Coveted by other teams since his good end to the season, the Swiss driver preferred to continue with Toro Rosso. But the ??rookie?? recognizes that he could have made another choice. “Toyota could have been a possibility, as it had not yet hired any pilots », Confides Sébastien Buemi to TSR.ch.

But the Japanese manufacturer withdrew from the Formula 1 and Natacha Gachnang’s cousin preferred to focus on stability. “ (Toyota) n’était pas la seule (piste), et quoiqu’il arrive je devais en discuter avec Red Bull. Finally I signed with Toro Rosso for 2010. » He will therefore begin a second season with Red Bull's sister team, after scoring six points this season.

Sébastien Buemi, who surprised at the end of the year by regularly appearing at the forefront, will be accompanied by Jaime Alguersuari, who should be officially renewed shortly. For the Swiss driver, this extension makes sense. “ I'm assuming that he will team up with me again next year. If the team chose to have him drive from mid-season, it is because we can no longer do private tests and so that he can get used to the car for the following season. . We both come from the Red Bull industry, so I've known him for a long time and have no problem with him. »
