Sebastien Buemi revealed that he wanted to be teamed up with Jenson Button at Toro Rosso in 2009. An unexpected and somewhat utopian piece of information.<\/p>\n
Although he is not yet officially confirmed with Red Bull’s team No. 2, the 20-year-old admits in an interview with the Swiss newspaper Blick that the contract is now a mere formality.<\/p>\n
\u00ab I am already thinking about my teammate for 2009. The best and ideal would be Jenson Button. \u00bb<\/p>\n
The latter, who is 28 years old and has more than 150 Grand Prix to his name, is currently considering his options after the withdrawal of the Japanese manufacturer Honda.<\/p>\n
For Buemi, Button at Toro Rosso is conceivable, especially considering the likelihood of someone buying the Brackley team. Indeed, the cost-cutting measures do not play in Honda’s favor.<\/p>\n
It seems almost certain that his place within the small Scuderia is assured while S\u00e9bastien Bourdais and Takuma Sato are vying for the second seat.<\/p>\n
Since the beginning of the week in Jerez, Buemi has resumed his role as a test driver for Red Bull Racing. He believes that he was the fastest driver among those employed by Toro Rosso last week.<\/p>\n
\u00ab During the tests in Barcelona in November, I was three tenths behind but in Jerez, I had Bourdais and Sato under control, \u00bb he stated.<\/p>\n
\u00ab On Tuesday and Wednesday Vettel was on track. Three months ago, he was two-tenths better than me, but since then I’ve been ahead because I’ve gained more experience. \u00bb<\/p>\n
The 2009 Toro Rosso, designed by Red Bull, will be ready by the end of February.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
