“It is therefore part of the team’s culture to change its driver lineup from time to time in order to achieve this goal” – Tost.
Red Bull has stunned the formula one world by ousting existing drivers Jaime Alguersuari and Sebastien Buemi and installing an all-new lineup for its second team Toro Rosso.

Scuderia Toro Rosso announces all-new driver line-up for 2012
It will be the first time since the team’s 2006 debut that it will begin the year with an all new line-up. Both drivers have come through the Red Bull Junior Driver programme and the decision to promote Daniel and Jean-Eric to Scuderia Toro Rosso was taken by the team in conjunction with Red Bull.

Currently, three races before Brazil, Buemi trails Spaniard Alguersuari by three points.
Sebastien Buemi must up his game if he wants to practice on Friday morning ahead of next month’s 2011 season finale in Brazil. Toro Rosso has told the Swiss, and his teammate Jaime Alguersuari, that whoever has the least amount of points after the penultimate race in Abu Dhabi will give up his car at Interlagos to French hopeful Jean-Eric Vergne.

Jaime Alguersuari is back in favour at Toro Rosso, according to the Spanish press.
Very recently, the 21-year-old was heavily tipped to make way at the Red Bull junior team for Daniel Ricciardo. But the Spaniard Alguersuari then achieved consecutive points finishes in Canada and Valencia, reportedly spurring Red Bull’s driver manager Helmut Marko to instead find a place at HRT for Ricciardo’s mid-season debut.

Ricciardo could even replace either Sebastien Buemi or Jaime Alguersuari before 2012
Daniel Ricciardo will almost certainly make his grand prix debut with Toro Rosso in 2012, team boss Franz Tost has admitted in Turkey. Now at the very top of Red Bull’s junior programme, the 21-year-old Australian is travelling with the Italian team throughout the 2011 season to drive the STR6 on Friday mornings.

Helmut Marko has indicated Sebastien Buemi’s place at Toro Rosso may not be secure.
Red Bull’s famously-brusque driver manager Marko was openly disappointed with the young Swiss after 2010, with the appointment of Daniel Ricciardo as Friday driver adding even more pressure now. But Buemi, 22, was impressive on Saturday, out-qualifying his teammate Jaime Alguersuari and securing the Red Bull junior team’s first Q3 appearance since 2009.

And if he should get an early call to the F1 grid, Ricciardo confirmed that he is “Ready.
Daniel Ricciardo has admitted the timing of his formula one race debut could be linked with the longevity of countryman Mark Webber’s career. The pair joked as they barbequed sausages for the media this week, but already posed to Toro Rosso’s new Friday driver Ricciardo was whether he is just waiting for Webber to retire.

“We seem to be among the first five teams, based on the hierarchy of the winter testing.
Sebastien Buemi is predicting a competitive start to the 2011 season for Red Bull junior team Toro Rosso. The STR6 impressed not only with its pace but also its innovative ‘double floor’ concept in recent winter testing.

“If we are not on pole position, at least we will be on the front row”
Dietrich Mateschitz on Monday said he expects a Red Bull to be at the front of the grid in Sunday’s Australian grand prix. Sebastian Vettel is the reigning champion in the new pace-setting RB7, and Austrian billionaire Mateschitz told Austrian news agency APA he expects more of the same success.

Ricciardo told F1′s official website: “At the moment I have nothing to tell.”
Amid intense speculation about his future, Daniel Ricciardo has returned to his native Australia unsure if he is on the cusp of his formula one debut. After the 21-year-old so impressed during the young drivers test at the wheel of the title-winning RB6 in Abu Dhabi, reports have linked him with Sebastien Buemi’s seat at the Red Bull junior team Toro Rosso for 2011.

“I am a member of the Red Bull junior team so my future is in their hands.”
Daniel Ricciardo has revealed he still does not know what he will be doing in 2011. The Australian, who was Red Bull’s reserve driver in 2010, this week stunned the F1 world with record-setting pace in the Abu Dhabi young driver test at the wheel of the championship winning RB6.
