Sebastien Buemi is ‘confident’ of securing a seat at Toro Rosso’s sister team, Red Bull, sometime in the future.
The Swiss driver joined the Red Bull ‘B’ team in 2009 and has impressed team owner Dietrich Mateschitz with his consistent outscoring of team-mate, Jaime Alguersuari.
The 21-year-old aims to stay with the Austrian owned empire ‘for as long as he can’ with his ultimate goal to secure a seat in what is currently the quickest car by some margin.
“Red Bull has helped me so much in the past and is still helping me so I want to stay with them as long as I can,” he said in a video interview.
“I want to be scoring points, I want to win races and championships. This is I think pretty clear for most of the drivers.”
He did admit that this is unlikely to happen at Toro Rosso as the team resources are just a shadow of those at Red Bull’s Milton Keynes factory.
“Now we’ve got to stay realistic, it’s not really easy with what we have [at Toro Rosso].
“But we work really hard and I’m confident in the future I’ll be able to step in the Red Bull which is now the fastest car.”
