Toro Rosso, the best option for Jean-Eric Vergne

The departure of Mark Webber and the choice of his replacement at Red Bull constituted the main series of transfers 2013-2014. In the end, the quadruple world champion team poached Daniel Ricciardo from home Toro Rosso to install it in the seat of the RB10 alongside Sebastian Vettel. For Jean-Eric Vergne, logically in the running to succeed Webber, the news was hard to take at first. “It was difficult at the time. » declared the Frenchman to the Spanish press agency EFE. “But I think the winter break really helped me. And I came to the conclusion that there is nothing wrong with being at Toro Rosso. It's the best option for me, and Red Bull has always made the best decisions for my career. If they didn't choose me, it's because they didn't think I was ready yet. I need to work more on specific areas. So, I'm ready to do a lot better this year. » adds the one who will be Daniil Kvyat's teammate at Toro Rosso in 2014.

“You have two options. The first is not to understand, and to be angry. Or grief and thinking you are the best and they are wrong. The second option, the one I chose, is to understand the reason for the decision and see the positive side. I will work on all aspects necessary to become a better driver. And be happy. »

Vergne and Kvyat will once again be at the wheel of their Toro Rosso STR9 during testing in Bahrain, from February 19 to 22.
