Toro Rosso drivers Jaime Alguersuari and Sebastien Buemi are delighted with their 2011 Korean Grand Prix show held on Sunday, October 16 at the Korea International Circuit.
Both of the drivers said that they are pleased as well as satisfied with their performance in the Korean race weekend on Sunday.
The Italy-based squad put on its strongest show of the 2011 Formula 1 season in Korea, where both of the drivers gave their best possible performances on the grid for the team.
Toro Rosso driver Alguersuari talked to the media and stated that it is a fact the Toro Rosso team has done a fantastic job, not just in the Korean race weekend, but also going back to Suzuka, where they introduced some updates on their STR6 car.
He also mentioned that in the 2011 Japan race, they did not make the most of changes in their car, but in the last few days in between the races, the team has done really well to move forward for the Korean race.
The Spaniard commented, “Combined with great pitstops that is how we managed to produce this fantastic result. I am very happy for the teams who have worked so hard, especially the mechanics fitting all these new parts. We are closer to Sauber now and with
three races remaining.”
The 21-year-old driver started his Korean race from the 11th position on the grid and after doing his best, he came on the seventh place in the final Korean Grand Prix classifications.
On the other hand, his teammate Buemi discussed his Korean race with the media and mentioned that at the moment he is really happy with his Korean Grand Prix results.
The Swiss driver added, “Someone drove into me at the first corner which cost me four places and I'm not really sure what happened. After that, I had to work hard to pass other cars - the two Williams, the two Saubers and both Force Indias - to move up the
order.”
The 22-year-old driver finished his race at the ninth position behind Mercedes GP’s Nico Rosberg at the Korea International Circuit.
Let’s see how both of the drivers perform in the last stages of the ongoing season following their positive Korean race results.
