Toro Rosso unsure over 2012 driver line-up

11 July 2011

Scuderia Toro Rosso boss Franz Tost says he currently 'doesn’t know' who will be driving for his team in 2012, revealing that the decision will be made by Red Bull at the end of the year. Regular drivers Jaime Alguersuari and Sébastien Buemi were under pressure to keep their seats from reserve driver Daniel Ricciardo earlier in the season, but the latter has since been given a seat at Hispania Racing to gain more experience.

"Now he’s been offered the chance to race, and I can see only advantages in this," Tost said about Ricciardo’s recent move to HRT. "Participating in FP1 is not the same as doing a complete race weekend, so he will be much better prepared for next year.

"And he can’t drive for Toro Rosso because we have two race drivers who are doing a good job.

"What our driver pairing will be in 2012, I don’t know yet. This will be decided by Red Bull at the end of the season."
