Buemi can live with Vettel comparisons

By on

As the incoming rookie into the Toro Rosso team, Sebastien Buemi has some big shoes to fill, as now Red Bull racer Sebastien Vettel scored 35 points last season with the Faenza based outfit. But the Swiss driver isn't feeling too much pressure, as he says that he expected it and will have no problem coping with the high expectations.

Speaking to the official F1 website, Buemi said, "Coming in just after Vettel gives a bit more pressure, but he has improved the team, so my feeling is that I'm grateful him for doing that.

"I don't think too much about what Vettel did or what I should do. Certainly there will be comparisons all year long but I can live with that."
