Marko: Toro Rosso will continue to support the rookies

The sports motor, Dr. Helmut Marko Adviser refuses to rule out a change of line-up of pilots for the second team of Red Bull, Toro Rosso this season.


Sebastien Buemi and Jaime Alguersuari are starting the year at the wheel of the STR6 engined Ferrari, but highly qualified pilots are waiting for their chance to implement at the controls of a F1 race. Everyone wants to be Red Bull wings.


Of the couple, Daniel Ricciardo is that tie most high-profile and was testing the car in Jerez on Thursday and is scheduled to make sessions every Friday morning in 20 Grands Prix this season.


But Marko, Red Bull, inimitable pilots Manager also defends the French Jean-Eric Vergne.


Ricciardo and Vergne we have two exceptional talents." "Buemi and Alguersuari know that their work is not a pillow, and we are not a school," said the Austrian.


Marko has a reputation for ruthless director of pilots, not doubting in put pressure to race for Toro Rosso drivers.


"Buemi services last year were not what we expected of him", he warns. "Alguersuari has grown, but is it enough?"


Marko hailed the pace of Ricciardo, as already shown in the Abu Dhabi race last November, and said that the spirit of struggle of Vergne is incomparable.


"If our four pilots was side by side in a curve, I assure you Vergne out across first", said.

 

Daniel Ricciardo will have their chance with Toro Rosso at Jerez

It is increasingly clear that Red Bull wants 2011 is the year of transition for Daniel Ricciardo to Formula 1. He was with the Red Bull in Abu Dhabi at end of season, it was confirmed as third Toro Rosso driver during the season, with appearances on track during the Grand Prix, Friday and now even "steal" time at Sepang in the second pre-season training.


On the first day of the test, same morning Ricciardo will be behind the wheel of the new Toro Rosso STR6 during the morning session. The damages and that you "steal" time will be "ours" Jaime Alguersuari. Moment, sure that both Sebastien Buemi and Jaime are convinced of his talent, but I do not have them all with me. I am among those who think that one of the two does not end the season and gives your site to Ricciardo.
