I suppose hes the only person they could find?

He's got potential, but for sure torro rosso aren't the right team really.

btw - where'd you find this confirmed?

AH yep its up on the bbc, good find. Confirmed then.

Toro Rosso will retain the same driver line-up as last season after announcing that Spaniard Jaime Alguersuari will race for the team in 2010.

Tost said: "If one takes into consideration that he made his debut in the middle of the 2009 season, without having even taken part in trials, he performed very well, with a mature approach considering he is still only 19 years old.

"This season, he will again face a steep learning curve, as all the circuits in the first part of the season will be new to him."

There was no explanation as to why it took the team so long to confirm Alguersuari's position after Buemi was inked in for 2010 a week after the final race of last season in early November.

He'll get sacked halfway through the season by text, even if he totally dominates Buemi.

You're like a dog chasing a car. You'll never catch it and you just wouldn't know what to do with it if you did

The kid deserves a real chance, I think his performance will improve a lot with the testing and his confidence should be way up too. If he still sucks this year we can write him off

I danced around my entire house, upstairs and down and hugged my cat. When I saw the news my face was similar to this: 8D

When I first clicked the topic I thought (other than "OH MY GOD YES"), "I wonder if Hansy knows about this."
Of course he won't suck.

I think Buemi is someone big teams should be looking at. He scored points in his first race and put Bourdais in the shade at nearly every race

Jaime came into Hungary with no circuit experience with F1 thanks to the dumbass testing rules and then his debut was overshadowed by the Massa accident. Its difficult to judge his performances so I remain doubtful if he'll perform this year.
