F1 » Buemi officially gets Toro Rosso F1 nod

About bl**dy time. I certainly wouldn''t like to be one of the potential STR drivers having their career being kept on hold by STR''s slow decision making process.

Bad news for Bourdais: he deserves a seat this coming year.

Not so sure about Buemi, got a bad feeling there might be a lot crashed Toro Rosso's this season. Then we shouldn't doubt him just yet, i just think there are a few more ready drivers at the moment.

Im perfectly happy for Buemi to join STR, Ive never seen him race so itll be interesting to see how talented he is.
Im still hoping Bourdais gets the other seat, as I've said over and over and over again, I believe he deserves another shot to get some decent championship points. And itll sill be the Seb team if he does stay. Can't believe there's a possibility we wont find out till the end of March, its ludicrous, for us but mainly the drivers!

Not sure this is the right decision at all. Buemi not exactly stood out in GP2 and hasn't even completed the warm-up lap on occasion.... Think there are better candidates for an F1 seat - guess this is the downside of a young driver scheme that intends to take drivers all the way to the top

I think it's a mistake given that there are others from the gp2 crop that deserve a seat in F1 before Buemi does.

Glad to see Buemi get the seat, as his testing-times have been really impressive. However, if it means Sato will be out of F1 next year it's a disaster IMHO. Bourdais deserves another chance, there i agree with Hannah, but so do Sato, and among SAto/Bourdais I would choose Sato as he is more experienced and in my view a faster driver ( although perhaps not as stable as Bourdais is). I've stopped watching F1 after Super Aguri quit, but if Sato joins STR i will once again have a team/driver to cheer for. Greetings from Norway

It seems a shame that with so few top level seats available in all of motorsport,a guy who has been at the best average should claim a seat at the pinnacle of the sport!

I can see STR going for Sato, because of the Japanese market for Red Bull. I think Bourdais needs to start having a backup plan ready, if it isn't too late already.

Hey Tim I would not call STR a top level seat but you just watch this guy fly !!!!!!
