'Buemi is Red Bull and STR's third driver in 2012'

2 January 2012

At Scuderia Toro Rosso the team will be racing with Daniel Ricciardo and Jean Eric Vergne in 2012. The Italian Formula 1 team, owned by Red Bull, had to place its 2010 and 2011 driver Sebastien Buemi on hold. According to Swiss newspaper Blick though Buemi is about to become Red Bull Racing and Scuderia Toro Rosso's test and reserve driver.

The Formula 1 team was unable to confirm a contract for the Swiss 23-year-old, but it wouldn't be a major surprise if the Austrians would keep Buemi with his experience linked to the team to bring in a possible third World Championship for Sebastian Vettel.

At the moment there are just two seats left in Formula 1. At Williams they are expected to continue with Formula One's most experienced driver Rubens Barrichello while at HRT there are several candidates to team up with Pedro de la Rosa.
