Race Incident

Sebastien Buemi has now finally been confirmed for a 2009 race seat at Scuderia Toro Rosso after months of him being as close to confirmed one can be without actually being it.

“I am naturally very happy to be driving for Scuderia Toro Rosso this year,” said Buemi. “Being a Formula 1 driver has always been my target, since I first started racing. This year, I will do all I can to bring home the best possible results and to show Red Bull that the confidence it has shown in me is justified. I want to thank them for this opportunity and for all the help they have given me in my career, dating back to 2005.”
