Bernie Ecclestone was 80 this week. But today an F1 driver has his birthday. Toro Rosso's Sebastien Buemi is twenty-two. Welcome to the 22 club, Sebastien.
Out of the two Toro Rosso drivers, Buemi is the eldest. Jaime Alguersuari by comparison is a mere whippersnapper at 20 years old. Buemi started off with a better 2010 season, outqualifying his teammate most of the time (race 4 in China was the only one of the first 10 races where Alguersuari qualified better). Although Alguersuari was first to get points, Buemi has gained more over the season, and is a steady sixteenth in the championship.
Best finish so far: 8th (Canada) [Alguersuari: 9th (Malaysia)]
Worst finish: 24th (Germany) [Alguersuari: 24th (Hungary)]
Retirements: 5 [Alguersuari: 2]
Points: 8 [Alguersuari: 3]
Position: 16th [Alguersuari: 19th]
Unfortunately for the Swiss, his last race didn't go so well. He's got a demotion of five places in Brazil for colliding with Timo Glock, although he did apologise. Buemi will definitely be racing alongside Alguersuari with Toro Rosso next year. Looking forward to it!
