Surprised that I've had to go back so far to find a thread related to Sebastian Buemi.

Congratulations to him for leading his first Grand Prix and an all-round excellent performance today.

Time to revive this thread

Great performance by Buemi in Qualifying unlucky to miss out on Q3 & he seems to be getting his form back. Tommorow is race day and the STR camp seem to be confident that they have strong race pace, lets hope this is true so that Sebastien & Jaime can aim for some points

Yes, Buemi did well today, I think Jaime still has problems with those super soft tyres and low fuel, but don t know why... But it is a problem of qualifying, because on a long friday stint, he was by speed in same league as Buemi... All times are shown on FIA com for checking...

That's true Jaime hasn't really nailed Qualifying as of yet in his F1 Career he'll learn as the races progress but I'm sure he'll have stronger race pace as you mentioned.

Jaime being interviewed. I think he's speaking Italian - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TwhJuYP9y8

can t speak and understand Italian unfortunately...

Toro Rosso to retain Buemi, Alguersuari for 2011

Silly move by Buemi. He had the chance to move to a good team for next season.

I'm not sure he had any choice, he probably signed a multi-year deal with Red Bull.

He speaks fluent Italian, much better than my written English.

He recalls the time when he was a kart driver and he ran continuously, even with the snow, to have optimal physical preparation.

Then he speaks of the difficulties it has had in F1 last year.
In qualifying he managed to be fast enough because of the situations encountered had already experienced in the minor categories.

The biggest problem was the race, too long for his physical abilities and for his little experience; each track was new, every situation was new, each strategy was new. He was not accustomed to using a car with 90 kg of fuel, or just 20 kilograms, having to make a very quick stint. He felt very much difference, it was like to drive two different cars. This year things are much better with the fuel load equal for everyone. He is dominating the car and not vice versa.

Jaime then makes a comparison between its growth and growth of Vettel. When you arrive in F1 you can choose two paths: to go slow and see how you can improve, or go faster and risking a crash. He says that when you get to a point you know the car 100%, you lose respect for the car and make a crash.
Finally, he recalled the crash in Suzuka. A few laps from the checkered flag, he had new tires and low fuel and was pushing very hard but he was very tired, especially with regard to the neck, and lost the car to 300 kph.

Buemi says he has not signed anything yet:

What's going on?

lol, Buemi says the market is still wide open. STR following RBR in PR disasters?

its toro rosso....

i agree with that jaime interview, last year he looked lost, this year hes so much better

Where?

Rumored at Renault

Helmut Marko's got visions of putting him in the Red Bull A-Team in 2012 though. He'll do alright, so long as he remains consistent enough.

I doubt Buemi is consistent... He was brilliant in Valencia and then quite poor and invisible in Silverstone...

Talk about something... different:

wtf?

I give it five minutes before the photoshoppers start adding a certain meme into the image.

Now Buemi voices that the WCC position of STR is dependent on this F-Duct. He should be right.

BTW, Am I the only one who think that Buemi needs to move on if he is to become 'better' racer to score more WDC points?

When you consider he has seven points to Alguersuari's three, I fail to see what you mean in that regard - especially since Alguersuari has a tendency to finish ahead of him.

When STR don't score, yes Buemi is behind his teammate, but when the team is up there, so is Buemi.
