Jaime Alguersuari has landed himself a new job in Formula 1 which will see him attend every grand prix, though not as a driver, but as a commentator.
The Spaniard was dumped by his Toro Rosso outfit last season along with teammate Sebastien Buemi. The latter signed a test role with Red Bull Racing, but Alguersuari remained cast aside despite his obvious talent behind the wheel.
The 21-year-old will join James Allen at the BBC’s Radio 5 Live as co-commentator for all 20 rounds of the 2012 F1 season.
Jaime Alguersuari said: “It’s great to be part of the BBC’s F1 commentary team on Radio 5 live. It will be interesting to look at the action from a different angle and bring that excitement and insight to listeners.
“Given that I’m still only 21, this agreement permits me to return to F1. It promises to be another exciting season and I can’t wait for it to start.”
