Jaime hints its himself and Buemi for 2010

Monday 9th November 2009

Jaime Alguersuari has hinted that both himself and Sebastien Buemi will remain at Toro Rosso next season.

While Buemi started the 2009 Championship as a full-time Toro Rosso driver, Alguersuari was only called up to race at the Hungarian GP after the team dropped the under-performing Sebastien Bourdais.

Alguersuari's introduction to Formula One was anything but prepared as the 19-year-old had not completed even a single lap in a F1 car before taking part in Friday's first practice in Budapest.

And although he never quite matched Buemi in their eight races as team-mates, it appears the Spaniard has done enough to secure a 2010 drive with Toro Rosso.

Speaking about next year's Championship, he told SportSport.es: "There will be six days of pre-season testing that, without a doubt, will give me a good base and we will then see the best Jaime.

"The start of the season will be hard because I don't know the circuits. But at the end of the year I will be good, even better than Sebastien Buemi. This is my hope."

"jianh, i think you have misunderstood what i was saying!, the point was, given the relative performance of both drivers, it would be a shame and a waste if Kobayashi could not get a race seat, and we were left with drivers like Alguersuari instead!"

"biso9700, u cannot simply compare Kobayashi's situation with Jaime's. Toyota's out of F1 now but Toro Rosso is still there."

"Why would anyone want to keep him as a driver. He's too young and hopelessly inexperienced, even with the races under his belt. I just can't see the reason."
