Buemi & Alguersuari - underrated?

supremenovice

I think Torro Rosso will live to regret letting go Buemi and Alguersuari.
Buemi has the edge overall but Alguersuari gets props for halling himself
back from a certain sacking after a poor start to the year to scoring points at 3 races in a row from Canada to Britain.
I dont think Ricciardo is up to much and Jean Eric Vergne could be anything I suppose, but is likely to be nothing.
Id love to see Buemi take Webbers seat - Id say he could do a better job to be honest.

Red Bull have high standards. These two didnt live to them, so they got the chop, simply because they are not good enough. Toro Roso is a team to give rookies a shot, and see if they have what it takes to get a seat in red bull, and neither did. I think their replacements will fair far better.

Red Bull have far too high a standard if you ask me. in the 15 years they have supported young drivers only two have been race winners in F1-Frentzen and Vettel. If you look at the huge number of drivers they have supported that is not a good return. They need to see that a driver like Vettel is the exception not the norm.
I like Ricciardo and Vergne has great potential but I would have preferred to have seen Alguersuari retain his drive alongside Ricciardo with Vergne getting Friday practice duty and the mid season test. If they had done that they could have brought in Vergne in next year if he does well. As it is there is a lot of pressure on him for 2012 and even though Alguersuari have a strong second half to 2011 he is out of a drive.
I can understand the decision to bring in both drivers but I do think that changing both drivers was a mistake.

I think torro rosso were right to let Buemi go, I think he has been coasting and has never really stood out for me.
I think Alguersuari has more to offer, he is very young and we havnt seen the last of him yet, don't be surprised if he is in a HRT next year

Ricardo and Verne will be a good team next year,I think they'll push each other hard but I'd say Verne will pip him (hope I'm wrong as I like Danny)

He may end up at HRT and do a season with them and see if he can secure a seat with a better team the following year, or he might look for a test role.

Alguersuari has talent I think but Buemi is totally overrated
