Toro Rosso drivers Sebastien Buemi and Jaime Alguersuari had a falling out last week after the two collided on the opening lap of the Australian Grand Prix.
The situation doesn’t look to have improved, with Swiss newspaper Blick reporting that the two sat in front of one another on the flight to Malaysia, without speaking during the 12 hour flight.
Buemi told the newspaper that neither could agree on who’s fault it was, refusing to discuss the matter further.
“We spoke after his foul in Melbourne,” said the Swiss driver.
“We both had a different opinion. I hope he does the right thing now and respects me. I don’t want to say anything more about it.”
Buemi managed to finish 8th in Melbourne after the disqualification of Sergio Perez and Kamui Kobayashi.
He admitted he felt sorry for the team, but knows they’ll fight back and make for a challenging battle at the coming races.
“I felt sorry for the Sauber team, but they are fast enough that they will succeed again soon.
“We will have a good fight with Sauber and also Williams.”
