Buemi almost a sure bet for Toro Rosso seat

By on

With five drivers in the waiting list for the two vacant Toro Rosso race seats, Red Bull F1 team own Dietrich Mateschitz has openly commented that Sebastien Buemi is very likely to be signed up to race. The young Swiss driver may be paired with Sebastien Bourdais, or another driver currently in the contention for a race seat within the same team.

"One will very likely be Buemi," said Mateschitz to 'autosport', "The line-up will be confirmed before the last test in December." Referring to the last test of 2008, on December 15-17 at the Circuito Jerez de la Frontera.
