Toro Rosso reject Schumacher link

STR team principal Franz Tost has denied that his team are in talks to sign Ralf Schumacher.

Sebastien Buemi as been confirmed as one of the team's drivers for the 2010 season, but while young Spaniard Jaime Alguersuari claims to have agreed a deal with the team, there has been no official word on who will partner the Swiss driver.

Schumacher's revelation that he was looking to return to Formula One coupled with his long history with Tost - the pair worked together at Williams and Tost managed Ralf in his early days as a racer - and reported friendship with owner Dietrich Mateschitz led to speculation that the 34-year-old could join the Faenza-based outfit.

However, Tost has rubbished reports that he is in talks with the German.

"I know nothing about it, and that's that. There's nothing to it," Tost told Auto Motor und Sport.

"As far as I am concerned, it's nonsense," he added.
