Toro Rosso in no rush to name drivers

Toro Rosso in no rush to name drivers

20 September 2008

After its final test session of the season in which the team auditioned Sebastien Buemi and Takuma Sato for a possible drive in 2009, Scuderia Toro Rosso team principal Franz Tost said the team is in no rush to name its drivers for next season. 

"At this, the final session of the season, our main test topics were trying out some new components on the car and the evaluation of two drivers, Sebastien Buemi and Takuma Sato," said Tost. 

"On Wednesday, Red Bull young driver Buemi was in the cockpit and, as expected, he did a good job," he added. "On Thursday, Japan's Takuma Sato was behind the wheel. Unfortunately, he was only able to run in the morning because the rain arrived at lunchtime. Despite only completing a few laps, Sato also put up a good performance. Although those two days were something of an audition for a 2009 seat with Scuderia Toro Rosso, Red Bull is in no hurry to make a decision at this point in the year, when we are concentrating on doing well in the final four races."
